Carbon sink role of lime-based construction units

Around 430 million tonnes of lime are produced worldwide each year [1]. In parallel, similar amounts of CO2 are emitted due to the chemical calcination process and the usage of fuel in the kiln [2]. Carbonation of lime-based construction units has been shown to potentially reduce a building’s carbon footprint by 20% [3]. This research aims to quantify the potential use of CO2 during industrial carbonation of Calcium Silicate Units (CSU) and Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC).

Abstract

Around 430 million tonnes of lime are produced worldwide each year [1]. In parallel, similar amounts of CO2 are emitted due to the chemical calcination process and the usage of fuel in the kiln [2]. Carbonation of lime-based construction units has been shown to potentially reduce a building’s carbon footprint by 20% [3]. This research aims to quantify the potential use of CO2 during industrial carbonation of Calcium Silicate Units (CSU) and Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC).
