To understand phenomena like alkali-silica reactions (ASR), alkali-carbonate reactions (ACR) and alkali-aggregate reactions (AAR), it is important to investigation reaction kinetics in cement, mortar ...

The latest IPCC climate report, for the first time, accounted for concrete carbonation in the global emissions inventory, which is important because the built environment represents a quantifiable ...

I work in one of the world’s dirtiest industries—the cement industry—accounting for 8% of global CO2 emissions, matched only by the steel industry. Companies like mine are reinventing cement ...

Scientists at startup Sublime Systems want to fix one of our biggest climate nightmares. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review's weekly climate newsletter. To receive it in your inbox ...

Concrete is very versatile, inexpensive, literally hard, and can be cast into almost any shape. It consists, in principle, only of sand, gravel, water, and the binder cement. The latter is made by the ...

"If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, with about 2.8 billion tons, surpassed only by China and the United States." This ...
