CO2 Capture Concrete for Future Carbon Storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has become a new perspective in reducing CO2 emissions for revenue generation. This innovation promotes the concept of waste into product via technological approach for environmental sustainability. Carbon capture concrete made of industrial waste has been developed as an eco-efficient CO2 capture product. This innovation has its dual co-benefits; engineering material produced from industrial waste and as permanent CO2 storage product. The novelty resides in the CO2 capture method via calcium-based minerals and carbonation curing that enables carbon capture and storage during product fabrication. Different proportions of industrial waste have been tested for cementitious material production, with a cost reduction of up to 30%. Capacity of CO2 uptake in concrete has been estimated for long-term carbon storage. This eco-efficient product has met the engineering specifications as green building material that is beneficial to mining and construction industries, environment and society for long-term CO2 emission reduction.
