Carbon dioxide utilization in concrete curing or mixing might not produce a net climate benefit

Carbon dioxide utilization in concrete curing or mixing might not produce a net climate benefit

Carbon curing or mixing in concrete is promising for carbon dioxide sequestration. Here, the authors show that the increased use of binder material to compensate the loss in compressive strength and electricity for carbon dioxide curing is more likely to increase carbon dioxide emissions on a life c...
