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 ...

The billions of tons of cement made each year have an enormous carbon footprint: 8% of global emissions, or four times more than the airline industry. That’s both because of the energy used to make ...

University of Wisconsin’s Clean Energy Community Initiative hosted UW College of Engineering Associate Professor Bu Wang, PhD, for a talk about his research on new carbon-negative cement replacements.

Recycled glass can be converted into a pozzolan in concrete that’s not only more sustainable and durable than traditional concrete, but reduces the urban heat-island effect because of its white color.

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 ...

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 ...

Concrete is the foundation of communities across the globe. More than 4 billion tons of cement that goes into concrete is produced a year. Locally, the Cal Portland Redding Cement Plant in Mountain ...

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 ...
