You might use the words cement and concrete interchangeably, but they're actually two different materials, and one is used to ...

A new cement-making process could sharply reduce pollution from one of the world's most carbon-intensive industries. In a study published May 13 in ACS Energy Letters, researchers described an ...

After a decade in the works, researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, have successfully devised a way to produce cement with 98% less CO2 emissions than traditional methods. The UCLA team ...

Researchers in the US have developed a new electric plasma heating method that could ...

A new cement-making process could shift production from being a carbon source to a carbon sink, creating a carbon-negative version of the building material, researchers report March 18 in Advanced ...

One of the biggest problems in dealing with carbon dioxide emissions is the making of the key component of cement: lime (calcium oxide). Now, a small company with the cute name Sublime Systems appears ...

Near-zero cement takes a huge bite out of emissions Cement has been a vital building block (pun intended) in constructing civilization. However, its manufacturing process has also made it a wrecking ...

A photobioreactor, which looks like a large vat of blue liquid with pink light shining, at Prometheus Materials. Stimulated by light, microbes in this bioreactor multiply and react carbon dioxide with ...

One of the consequences of rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere is that levels also rise proportionately in the ocean, harming wildlife and changing ecosystems. Heimdal is a startup working to pull ...

The billions of tons of cement made each year have an enormous carbon footprint: 8% of global emissions, or four times more than the airline industry. That’s both because of the energy used to make ...
