Concrete is commonly used globally for construction due to its durability and affordability. It is a go-to construction material for buildings, bridges, and tunnels. However, its widespread use comes with a significant environmental impact. The main culprit behind concrete’s carbon footprint is the cement used in its production. According to think tank Chatham House, Portland cement is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. As the construction industry faces pressure to decarbonize, researchers worldwide are actively seeking greener alternatives for concrete production. Sam Draper and Barney Shanks, PhD students at Imperial College London, have devised a method for creating carbon-neutral … Continue reading Concrete Environmental Makeover: Pioneering the Path to Carbon Neutrality
