The process of making cement accounts for roughly 8% of all global carbon dioxide emissions, according to a 2018 report by the think tank Chatham House. To test the hypothesis, the research team performed a series of small-scale tests on samples of concrete, each with varying amounts of PCC and a control sample(s) of conventional concrete. They found up to 30% of the cement used to make concrete can be replaced with precipitated calcium carbonate and still meet American Society for Testing and Materials standards.<\/p>\n<p>While the greener concrete&#8217;s outlook is promising, it will still need to be submitted to more testing. From here, researchers plan to keep testing this new and more environmentally conscious concrete mix for its ability to resist freeze-thaw conditions, surface hardness, and more to determine its overall durability and if it can withstand real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2023\/europes-buildings-are-off-track-to-climate-neutrality\/\">Tech EXPlore<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-441\/\">Researchers develop greener building materials using sugar processing waste products<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2171,575,12441,12442],"class_list":["post-119039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-building","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pcc","tag-sugar-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
