Construction is on its way to becoming greener. New research describes a method of creating building material that is not only carbon-neutral — meaning it does not produce any carbon emissions ...

But some companies have another option, which could be a win-win for the climate and the cement industry: creating carbon-negative building materials by storing excess carbon dioxide in concrete.

(Courtesy: Sabbie Miller) Replacing conventional building materials with alternatives that sequester carbon dioxide could allow the world ... readily available today – for example, mineral-rich waste ...

A new method inspired by coral reefs can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it into durable, fire-resistant building materials, offering a promising solution for carbon ...

Building materials such as concrete have the potential to store billions of tons of carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere, according to a new study from UC Davis. Image shows UC Davis Aggie Square ...

To be useful in such an application, it is critical that the production method for such carbon-negative materials is highly scalable. This is something that this new method delivers, Rotta Loria ...

The end result is a versatile white material that not only stores carbon, but can stand in for sand or gravel in cement, and also forms a foundational powder for other building materials like ...

Dutch-Nordic carbon capture startup Paebbl has raised ... up factories in areas with “high demand for end products (building material), nearby feedstock supply (CO2 and olivine rock)”, and ...

A team of scientists, led by Dr. Mehreen Gul from Heriot-Watt University, are investigating the use of biochar as an innovative, low-carbon building material. The project will support ...

“Carbon-rich meteorites are some of the most chemically primitive materials we can study ... s actually out there in space and how the building blocks of life arrived on Earth.” ...

But researchers also recover carbon-rich asteroid material from space ... of what’s actually out there in space and how the building blocks of life arrived on Earth,” Shober added.
