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 ...

You might use the words cement and concrete interchangeably, but they're actually two different materials, and one is used 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 ...

Researchers in the US have developed a new electric plasma heating method that could ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our world is built of concrete. Durable and cheap, it’s the construction material of choice for buildings, bridges and tunnels. But its ubiquity means it has a huge environmental impact. Concrete is ...

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 ...
