Cementing progress: developments in concrete and carbon
Cement, the active ingredient in concrete, is a potent contributor to greenhouse gases. But alternative production involving carbon dioxide sequestration, and sometimes more, is gathering pace. Christian Annesley caught up with Canada’s CarbiCrete to weigh developments
Putting captured biogenic carbon dioxide to use is one of the best ways to develop carbon circularity in the global economy. And if that utilisation effectively sequesters the CO2, all the better.
With that in mind, one stand-out growth opportunity in today’s decarbonising world lies in the expanding use of merchant CO2 being injected in concrete and cement, alongside other new process innovations in the space.
