IDTechEx Finds CO2-Derived Concrete Can Build a Net-Negative Future

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 21, 2024

Concrete is the second most consumed material on Earth, but its key ingredient, cement, is responsible for 7% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

Key Points: 
  • Concrete is the second most consumed material on Earth, but its key ingredient, cement, is responsible for 7% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
  • IDTechEx forecasts over 170 million tonnes of captured CO2 will be utilized in building materials by 2044.
  • Carbon dioxide can be utilized in concrete production in three different ways: injection of CO2 during curing of precast concrete, injection of CO2 during mixing of ready-mixed concrete, and formation of carbonate aggregates/additives.
  • For example, CO2-derived concrete players include Swiss company neustark, who uses the reaction of CO2 with demolished concrete to store carbon dioxide and produce concrete aggregate.
