Green Options

It seems like only yesterday that we covered an invention of “Green” cement at Cleantechnica:

The latest scheme for getting rid of the greenhouse gas comes from Stanford Professor Brent Constanz. The Geological and Environmental Sciences Professor has invented a new type of cement that is carbon neutral—a huge innovation for a material whose production process normally spews vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Today another start-up raised $1.7 million to fund a pilot plant making “Green” cement. But Novacem; a British spin-out from similarly government-funded research at Imperial College London, is going one step further than making lower carbon cement.

They are attempting to make a cement that actually sequesters carbon.

New ideas for reducing CO2 seem to be popping up all the time. The latest scheme for getting rid of the greenhouse gas comes from Stanford Professor Brent Constanz. The Geological and Environmental Sciences Professor has invented a new type of cement that is carbon neutral—a huge innovation for a material whose production process normally spews vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Not only is Constanz’s cement carbon neutral, but it also sequesters CO2 emitted from power plants.
