Northwestern University engineers discovered a method to store 45% of CO2 in concrete during manufacturing, potentially offsetting emissions from cement and concrete industries.
Northwestern University engineers discovered a new method to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in concrete during manufacturing. By using a carbonated water-based solution, up to 45% of CO2 injected was captured and stored, maintaining concrete's strength. This process could offset CO2 emissions from the cement and concrete industries, responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
