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 at the University of British Columbia have developed a new cement production process powered by electricity. This method cuts carbon dioxide emissions by up to 98 percent and uses 70 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The world’s largest cement producers are investing $75 million in Sublime Systems, a startup trying to decarbonize the cement production process at scale. On Tuesday, Holcim AG and CRH PLC (CRH) ...

Cement production accounts for 8% of global CO 2 emissions, necessitating its deep decarbonization. This paper reviews: (i) electrolysis-based methods to produce cement precursors, and (ii) ...

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 ...

In conventional cement production processes, carbonate decomposition is the core reaction, accounting for 60% of carbon emissions in cement manufacturing. Despite two centuries of technological ...

We make more concrete than any other material on the planet. A group of engineers across the country want to turn that production process—which accounts for over 7 percent of the world’s annual ...

Using silicate rocks like basalt instead of limestone for cement could reduce associated carbon dioxide emissions by more than 80% “There is the potential to solve a climate problem as big as cars ...

The creation of a coherent and efficient waste management approach especially in relation to urban waste is among the key challenges within the context of sustainable development. Societal wealth, ...
