Mineralized CO2 is converted into reactive precipitated calcium carbonate that boosts blended cement strength and lowers embodied emissions.
Mechano-thermal activation turns low-reactivity crystalline inputs into SCMs that cut cement CO2 and can improve concrete strength and durability.
Using igneous rocks instead of limestone removes calcination CO2 while producing hydraulic clinker with strong, acid-resistant cement.
Mechanical agitation with CO2 turns clay into an active filler that cuts cement demand, improves concrete strength and durability, and sequesters carbon.
CO2 treatment roughens and enlarges desert sand grains, then binds them into concrete-grade aggregate while storing carbon.
