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 ...

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 ...

A new electric plasma process makes cement in seconds, uses heat more efficiently, and could reduce emissions from cement ...

(Phys.org) -- While the largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is the power industry, the second largest is the more often overlooked cement industry, which accounts for 5-6% of ...

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 ...

Not only could the new process help sequester CO 2 from the ever-warming atmosphere, it also results in concrete with uncompromised strength and durability. "More interestingly, this approach to ...

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 ...

Cement is one of the most carbon-intensive materials on the planet, and researchers have spent years hunting for something to replace part of it without weakening the concrete it produces. A team in ...

Norway’s Statoil saves hundreds of millions of euro in avoided carbon taxes by using CCS. Since 1996, the Sleipner gas field has stored about one million tonnes CO2 a year. A second project in the ...
