sustainability: alternatives to Concrete
click on the image for the link It is well known that concrete is not a friend to nature, since its production has a considerably high carbon emission rate, According to (Anon, 2023), CO2 emissions caused by concrete production globally are around 8 per cent, and the reason behind this is cement production, which is a crucial component of concrete, it requires a high-temperature kiln for its creation. After researching this topic, I found a few alternatives, and I will take you through my process of thinking about which one(s) will suit my project best. Low-carbon concrete: By mixing collected CO2 into the concrete, the Canadian company CarbonCure produces low-carbon concrete. Industrial emitters absorb CO2 from the environment and use it to chemically change it into a nano-mineral. It is subsequently incorporated into the concrete, strengthening the substance. The method significantly reduces CO2 emissions in both the concrete production process and the atmosphere since less ceme...
