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.

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 ...

Cement production is responsible for around 8% of global carbon emissions. Using microalgae to make a key ingredient could drastically cut that carbon footprint. During a trip to Thailand on his ...

In a move that could accelerate the transition to "green concrete," two of the world's major cement producers are investing $75 million in Sublime Systems, a low-carbon cement startup. According to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Concrete makers around the world are racing to reduce emissions from the ubiquitous but hard-to-decarbonize industry. This week, that global effort took an important step forward at a modest facility ...

High CO2 emissions from the cement and concrete industries can be dangerous to the environment. The method offers a way to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from the cement and concrete industries, ...

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 ...

Chemists at Stanford University have developed a low-cost way to remove carbon dioxide (CO) from the atmosphere using an unlikely source: rocks. The process involves heating common minerals, so they ...
