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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cement production accounts for 8 percent of annual CO2 emissions and consumes 9 percent of annual industrial water on a global basis, making reducing cement’s impact on climate change a huge challenge ...

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 ...

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 ...
