  • Researchers have made a groundbreaking paste that could help create carbon-capturing concrete in new construction projects.

The article from BGR discusses a groundbreaking study from MIT where researchers have developed a new type of concrete using seawater and carbon dioxide, potentially revolutionizing construction and aiding in carbon sequestration. This innovative concrete not only utilizes abundant and low-cost materials but also helps in reducing the environmental impact of traditional concrete production, which is known for its high carbon emissions. The process involves mixing seawater with carbon dioxide to create a reactive solution that, when combined with slag and other materials, forms a durable concrete. This method could be particularly beneficial for coastal construction projects and might contribute significantly to mitigating climate change by locking away CO2 in building materials.
