The novel cement-free process will help remove 330 lbs (150 kgs) of Co2 for every ton of concrete produced.

expected to surpass 711.06 US billion dollars by 2030 , concrete users concerned with the environmental impact from cement are looking for reliable materials that allow them to reduce cement use.is doing just that by producing an alternative concrete that absorbs carbon dioxide instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

In addition, the process requires a very high heat, or around 1,400 degrees Celsius, often generated using asource to heat the limestone. The limestone disintegrates under the heat, releasing more carbon dioxide. "For every ton of concrete produced using the CarbiCrete process, 150 kg of CO2 are abated/removed," Yuti Mytko tells IE.The novel process is identical to that of cement-based concrete-making with two key differences.The company offers concrete manufacturers the process and support to implement this replacement technology in their existing plants. Mytko explained toOne is that ground steel slag, a by-product of steel-making, replaces cement in the mix, which acts as the binder.

Concrete blocks, or CMUs , are created by pouring the mixture into a traditional block-making machine.Alternative precast blocks are 30% stronger than cement-based ones
