Aggregate is an essential component in concrete, occupying 60-70% of the concrete by volume. Nevertheless, the application of natural aggregate (NA) is restricted due to the finite resources and long regeneration period. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), as common C&D waste, has received widespread attention for its usage to replace NA.

The technology, called C-Capture, uses a solvent to selectively capture the CO2 produced. It uses 40 per cent less energy than other carbon capture technologies, which significantly reduces the cost of decarbonisation. The system can be retrofitted to existing cement kilns or designed into new ones and the CO2 captured can be compressed and ...

Concrete is an artificial rock-like material made from a proportioned mix of hydraulic cement, water, crushed stone, and air. To ensure it is well-formed, vibration is often applied to still-setting concrete to shake extra air out and help the crushed stone settle properly. Cement and concrete are both low-cost building materials.

A primary issue within the cement industry, Grasso says, is CO2 emissions. Cement production accounts for about 7 percent of all global carbon emissions, and the U.S. alone uses more than 100 million tons of cement per year, he says. Twice as much concrete is used in construction than wood, plastics and aluminum combined.

In a decade from now, the infrastructure will be in place for greater concrete recycling. Instead of only reusing crushed concrete as road-based aggregate, concrete recycling could also entail creating aggregates for new concrete and even a fine cement paste concentrate for making eco-friendly cementitious binders.

The Canadian company CarbonCure Technologies has developed a process that injects waste CO 2 into a typical concrete production process, effectively replacing a small amount of cement with CO 2 without compromising the concrete's strength or integrity. Once in the mix, the CO 2 changes into calcium carbonate, the chemical equivalent of the limestone used in the production of conventional cement.
