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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Building materials can have outsize climate impacts, and cleaning them up will require major innovation. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review's weekly climate newsletter. To receive ...

University of Michigan chemist Charles McCrory and his research group, along with Jesús Velázquez's lab at the University of California, Davis and Anastassia Alexandrova's lab at the University of ...
