Concrete with Lower Carbon Footprint Created From Biofuel Waste

Concrete with Lower Carbon Footprint Created From Biofuel Waste

 

Concrete is so widely used that it accounts for between 3%-8% of global carbon emissions.  Researchers from Kansas City University have developed a system of replacing the Portland cement in concrete with biofuel waste.  When the material is added to the cement mixture it reacts chemically and makes the concrete 32% stronger.  Finding beneficial uses for biofuel waste will help improve sustainability within the industry and will help increase production in the future.
