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 ...

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 ...

The cement industry has long been a central part of infrastructure and development, but its impact on the environment remains a challenge. "The quarrying of limestone, as in cement production, affects ...

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 the second-largest industrial contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, but its carbon footprint could be dramatically reduced with a new low-cost, scalable approach ...

(Phys.org) -- While the largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is the power industry, the second largest is the more often overlooked cement industry, which accounts for 5-6% of ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new cement production process powered by electricity. This method cuts carbon dioxide emissions by up to 98 percent and uses 70 ...

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 ...

The modern world is built on concrete, and cement is what makes it possible. You've probably heard these two terms used interchangeably, especially while watching DIY videos on YouTube. However, they ...

Norway’s Statoil saves hundreds of millions of euro in avoided carbon taxes by using CCS. Since 1996, the Sleipner gas field has stored about one million tonnes CO2 a year. A second project in the ...
