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 ...

The ZeroCAL approach, which can be integrated within the existing cement-production process, uses limestone feedstock to produce calcium hydroxide — which emits no carbon dioxide when burned to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cement manufacturing and steel production account for roughly 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while aviation accounts for about 2% of worldwide C02 emissions, according to estimates by several ...
