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 ...

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 ...

The cement manufacturing process has a staggering carbon footprint – said to be responsible for up to 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the industry releases around 9 lbs of carbon dioxide ...

Researchers from UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management have developed a method that could eliminate nearly all of the carbon dioxide emitted during the process of cement production, which accounts ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cement is the main global construction material used for a plethora of different applications. It is important to optimize the production process to minimize the carbon footprint and maintain strict ...
