Researchers from the University of Michigan, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Northwestern University and the California Institute of Technology recently developed a new cement manufacturing ...

This strange white paste might not look like much, but it might help solve the sand shortage, while making the cement manufacturing process capture carbon dioxide instead of emitting it. Scientists at ...

Not only could the new process help sequester CO 2 from the ever-warming atmosphere, it also results in concrete with uncompromised strength and durability. "More interestingly, this approach to ...

Cement is the main global construction material used for a plethora of different applications. It is important to optimize the production process to minimize the carbon footprint and maintain strict ...

Each year, manufacturers produce around 5 billion tons of portland cement — the gray powder that mixes with water to form the “glue” that holds concrete together. That’s nearly three-quarters of a ton ...

For true zero carbon cement, the process can draw pure calcium from impurities in silica, magnesium, iron or aluminum, for example, refining them into higher-grade materials in the process. Crucially, ...

A state-backed project to extend natural gas to a Northampton County cement manufacturer will reduce truck deliveries of coal while supporting more than 100 full-time jobs, officials say. Keystone ...

Norway’s Statoil saves hundreds of millions of euro in avoided carbon taxes by using CCS. Since 1996, the Sleipner gas field has stored about one million tonnes CO2 a year. A second project in the ...

One technology that is currently directly available is coprocessing in cement manufacturing. This offers a unique waste management solution, where the material is simultaneously used as both a highly ...

The 30 billion tons of concrete that the world makes each year have a massive carbon footprint. Cement, the main ingredient, is responsible for around 8% of global emissions—meaning that if it were a ...

ALLEN TWP., Pa. - A key player in the cement industry with deep roots in our region is relocating a manufacturing line to the Lehigh Valley. FLSmidth Cement is in the process of outfitting a ...
