Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.

Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington ...

Concrete structures in Japan capture and store about 14% of the CO2 emissions released during cement production, according to a new study. Their findings provide crucial insights for offsetting CO2 ...

Engineers have created a 'supercapacitor' made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), ...

The concrete of this building has been absorbing CO 2 for a long time and is now being demolished while retaining the gas. This research provides vital knowledge to offset CO 2 emissions from cement ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered that Japan's concrete structures—including buildings and infrastructure—absorb and store about 14% of the carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions generated during ...
