Why it matters: Microsoft's ambitious efforts to eliminate its carbon footprint involve lowering emissions and removing carbon from the atmosphere. The emerging carbon capture industry is attempting ...

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 ...

Playing an indispensable role in global construction, cement contributes around seven percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions owing to its carbon-intensive production process. Scientists at the ...

The production process for cement requires grinding and heating limestone in industrial kilns at temperatures as high as 2,800° F. That creates “clinker,” which is the base element of most types of ...

Adding crushed calcium carbonate—limestone—to agricultural fields can remove tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year while improving crop yields, a Yale-led study published in Nature ...

We make more concrete than any other material on the planet. A group of engineers across the country want to turn that production process—which accounts for over 7 percent of the world’s annual ...
