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 ...

Cement is necessary for making concrete, which is foundational in constructing buildings and infrastructure around the globe because it is relatively low-cost, strong and durable. But making cement ...

A new technique can produce cement using waste from demolished buildings, which researchers say could save billions of tonnes of carbon by 2050. “We have definitely proved that cement can be recycled ...

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 ...

Researchers on Wednesday said they were a step closer to solving one of the trickiest problems in tackling climate change—how to keep making cement despite its enormous carbon footprint. In a world ...

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 ...

Concrete is all around you—in the foundation of your home, the bridges you drive over, the sidewalks and buildings of cities. It is often described as the second-most used material by volume on Earth ...

In a move that could accelerate the transition to "green concrete," two of the world's major cement producers are investing $75 million in Sublime Systems, a low-carbon cement startup. According to ...

Our world is built of concrete. Durable and cheap, it’s the construction material of choice for buildings, bridges and tunnels. But its ubiquity means it has a huge environmental impact. Concrete is ...

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 ...
