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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This strange white paste might not look like much, but it might help solve the sand shortage, while making the cement manufacturing process capture carbon dioxide instead of emitting it. Scientists at ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s a major contributor to climate change — the way buildings and roads are made with concrete. It’s also a problem that’s growing as more of the world develops. So the race has been on to find ...

That number surprised me so I went looking. Our World in Data says about 3%. I am guessing they are attributing only the CO2 directly released by the process, not the energy required to do the process ...

Building materials can have outsize climate impacts, and cleaning them up will require major innovation. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review's weekly climate newsletter. To receive ...
