Scientists at the University of Cambridge developed a method to recycle cement, reducing its carbon footprint significantly. The technique involves substituting lime flux in steel recycling with used cement to produce recycled cement, which can be used in new concrete. By using electric-powered furnaces and renewable energy sources, this process could potentially produce zero-emission cement, helping the construction industry meet its carbon neutrality pledge by 2050.
