Scientists are proposing a new way to make cement by replacing limestone with volcanic rocks like basalt, a shift they say could dramatically cut emissions tied to one of the world’s dirtiest ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

US-based company Vulcan Materials is a major producer of aggregates-based construction materials, including asphalt and ready-mixed concrete. A couple of years ago, the company installed an Insitec ...

Each year, manufacturers produce around 5 billion tons of portland cement — the gray powder that mixes with water to form the “glue” that holds concrete together. That’s nearly three-quarters of a ton ...

This process can't avoid producing CO2 – but at least it comes out in a pure, cold state, pre-compressed to 10 bar and ready for easy capture and storage – and using substantially less energy and ...

The modern world is built on concrete, and cement is what makes it possible. You've probably heard these two terms used interchangeably, especially while watching DIY videos on YouTube. However, they ...
