Researchers at TU Wien are working with technology partners to develop a digital manufacturing process for topology-optimized ...

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, ...

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 ...

Buildings in London. Image by Tim Sandle. Engineers have developed a special concrete made with carbonated solution to sequester carbon dioxide from atmosphere. This is based on using a carbonated — ...

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.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jamie Hailstone is a U.K-based reporter, who covers sustainability. Every sector has its own set of challenges when it comes to ...

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 ...

Concrete is quite literally the foundation of most of our infrastructure. However, the process of concrete production has remained relatively unchanged for decades. From creating and transporting ...

Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. Throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only ...

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 ...

Concrete is quite literally the foundation of most of our infrastructure. However, the process of concrete production has remained relatively unchanged for decades. From creating and transporting ...

Not only could the new process help sequester CO 2 from the ever-warming atmosphere, it also results in concrete with uncompromised strength and durability. "More interestingly, this approach to ...
