Biomason Raises $65 Million Series C Round to Scale Biocement® Technology. U.S. based start-up Biomason recently announced a $65M funding round led by 2150 with participation from Celesta Capital, Hartree Partners, and others, including current shareholders Novo Holdings and Martin Marietta...
New Negative-Emission Construction Material Could Help Mitigate Climate Change and Improve Infrastructure. Mitigating climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world’s population. Now, a team of researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has developed an entirely new...
Researchers Use Recycled Glass to Develop New Eco-friendly 3D Printable Concrete. Researchers from RMIT University have developed a new eco-friendly 3D printable concrete material that uses recycled glass as an aggregate. Conventional concrete formulations tend to rely on natural river sand as...
New Concrete Mold System Uses the Right Amount of Concrete and No More. Concrete is the world’s most widely consumed material after water, and its production contributes to more than 7% of global CO2 emissions. Achieving global ambitions to limit warming to 1.5ºC will require significant change...
Building Materials Drive Carbon Emissions, and They're Set to Grow. A new study from Leiden University researchers shows that the carbon emissions of building materials are set to grow if we do not act rapidly. Even with known interventions implemented in concert, these emissions are much...
Building out of Concrete, but Without Pouring Concrete. EPFL researchers have built a footbridge prototype using reinforced-concrete blocks from walls of a building being renovated. The blocks were cut into individual pieces on site and assembled into a prestressed arch. This project, which...
Dalhousie University Research Explores use of Recycled Gypsum in Concrete. The Gypsum Association (GA)—in partnership with Divert NS, in Nova Scotia, Canada— has announced its support for Dalhousie University Phase II research exploring the viability of using construction and demolition (C&...
Heimdal Pulls CO2 and Cement-Making Materials Out of Seawater Using Renewable Energy One of the consequences of rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere is that levels also rise proportionately in the ocean, harming wildlife and changing ecosystems. Heimdal is a startup working to pull that CO2 back...
Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute announced on Tuesday they have developed a form of concrete that will fix its own cracks. Using an enzyme found in red blood cells, they posit the new product is four times more durable than traditional concrete, and published their work in...
More Sustainable Mortars and Concrete with Optimal Thermal and Mechanical Efficiency. Researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are studying and optimising the mechanical and thermal properties of new mortars and concrete made using...
