Researchers at ETH are actively engaged in developing a low-carbon cement that boasts a substantially reduced embodied CO2 content compared to traditional cement.
Concrete and cement manufacture is a highly environmentally damaging process, being responsible for nearly a tenth of total global carbon emissions. It is resource intensive, using vast amounts of energy, virgin materials such as sand and lime, and water. Clearly, a more sustainable alternative is needed.
ECU engineering students help companies reduce waste through internship program
Backed by an EPA grant, ECU’s Center for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering helps facilities reduce waste through internships.
It should come as no great surprise that much of the way we built and designed in the 20th century was detrimental to the planet.
