New lower-carbon cement plant captures CO2 from normal cement plant

A new company that makes lower-carbon cement from the carbon dioxide captured from the flue of a conventional cement plant has opened its first facility in Redding, California. The new… The post New lower-carbon cement plant captures CO2 from normal cement plant appeared first on Global Construction Review.

Wondered How Eco4 Scheme Transforms Your Carbon Footprint?

The post Wondered How Eco4 Scheme Transforms Your Carbon Footprint? appeared first on UK Construction Blog. Imagine your carbon footprint is like a shadow you leave behind. Every time you do something that uses energy, like riding a bus, playing video games, or even eating a snack, it creates a bit of CO2. It is in fact like a tiny puff of smoke. All those puffs together make up your carbon […]

New study highlights policy gaps which delay decarbonisation progress

In an effort to combat climate change, the global construction industry is setting its sights on a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions. However, a new study underscores policy gaps that impede decarbonisation progress. The post New study highlights policy gaps which delay decarbonisation progress appeared first on Planning, Building & Construction Today.

EU targets 50M tonnes per year of CO2 storage by 2030

Industrial carbon capture capacity must rise significantly to help the European Union meet its objective of hitting net zero by 2050, according to a new strategy released by the European Commission.

Engineering with Rosie - Turning CO2 Into Building Materials, 22092022

In this video Rosie visits Mineral Carbonation International's pilot plant facility. There are a really wide range of technologies that you can use to take captured CO2 and turn it into a useful product, carbon capture and utilisation (CCU)

Just have a Think - How to capture 2 billion tonnes of CO2 AND fix our oceans, 31072022

Carbon Dioxide removal from our atmosphere is now an unavoidable and essential aspect of our climate mitigation challenge in the 21st Century. We've left it so late that just reducing our emissions is no longer enough. Now a UK based company called Brilliant Planet has perfected a method that, at full scale, can drawdown 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere every year while also restoring alkalinity levels to our ocean ecosystems

Undecided - How the CO2 battery could be the future of energy storage, 09082022

Carbon dioxide is infamous for being the major culprit of climate change, but what if this global warming villain could turn into a green energy hero? Believe it or not, carbon dioxide may be a key component in developing a new green energy battery that can be quickly deployed around the world. Could giant bladders of CO2 solve our energy storage problem?

SciShow - Cement: A Really Hard Problem, 11052020

Concrete sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere, but making it initially produces a lot of carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Fortunately, by rethinking the chemistry of cement altogether, we can actually use carbon dioxide to create our concrete instead.

DW Planet A - How to fix the world's concrete problem, 28012022

Concrete is simple, cheap, strong and lasts long. But the wonder material that's all around us is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions — and it's not easy to change that. So how can we build cities without killing the planet?

Is this the route to a greener concrete?
