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 ...

Low-carbon cement developments are key to sustainable infrastructure, combining natural materials and advanced technologies ...

Scientists are proposing a new way to make cement by replacing limestone with volcanic rocks like basalt, a shift they say could dramatically cut emissions tied to one of the world’s dirtiest ...

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 ...

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brimstone, a leader in industrial decarbonization, has received third-party certification that its cement meets or exceeds ASTM C150 standards for ordinary portland ...

The production process for cement requires grinding and heating limestone in industrial kilns at temperatures as high as 2,800° F. That creates “clinker,” which is the base element of most types of ...

In about four months, startup Prometheus Materials expects to begin producing portland-cement-free “bio-masonry” units to replace embodied carbon-intensive cementitious masonry units, known as ...

We make more concrete than any other material on the planet. A group of engineers across the country want to turn that production process—which accounts for over 7 percent of the world’s annual ...

Researchers have created a “puff pastry-inspired” cement by repeatedly rolling and folding it into thin layers, producing a ...
