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 ...

A CU Boulder-led research team has figured out a way to make cement production carbon negative using microalgae. Global cement production accounts for 7% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. To make ...

Concrete is everywhere: in buildings, roads, sidewalks, bridges and foundations for almost every structure imaginable. We make more concrete than we do any other material on Earth, and that volume is ...

Concrete, the second-most-used material on Earth, generates about four times more CO2 emissions than planes. MIDDLESBROUGH, England — Behold one of the world’s greatest slag heaps: A towering landfill ...

Global cement production accounts for 7% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in large part through the burning of quarried limestone. Now, a CU Boulder-led research team has figured out a way to make ...
