Scientists are proposing a new way to make cement by replacing limestone with volcanic ...

Cement production alone currently accounts for about 8 percent of global CO 2 emissions, so considerable effort is going into lowering that number. Efficiency can be increased, and energy sources can ...

Ideas to reduce carbon emissions often revolve around renewable power, electric vehicles and energy efficiency. But there's another, less colorful character that's often overlooked: cement.

Cement production creates nearly as much CO2 as passenger cars, but replacing limestone with basalt could cut emissions by up ...

Cement has been a vital building block (pun intended) in constructing civilization. However, its manufacturing process has ...

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 ...
