- The production of cement, an essential ingredient of concrete, is responsible for 8% of the world's anthropogenic CO2 nearly 3 billion tons per year.
- Overall, the process emits more than 800 kg of CO2 for every metric ton of cement produced and represents most of concrete's overall carbon footprint.
- "CHASM is proud to partner with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to accelerate scalable cement decarbonization solutions," Dave Arthur, CHASM CEO, said.
