MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub postdoc Damian Stefaniuk describes his research on chemically-induced pre-cure carbonation, which can theoretically make concrete’s uptake capacity sufficient to offset at least 40% of the emissions from the calcination of cement.
MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub Deputy Director Hessam AzariJafari is investigating the impacts of concrete's carbon uptake across its life cycle.
Research from MIT's Concrete Sustainability Hub shows carbon-neutral pavements are possible by 2050. But stakeholders of all levels must get involved in decarbonizing pavements to reach climate goals.
Cool pavements are an infrastructure technology that can fight climate change in the summer by mitigating emissions and heatwaves. Randolph Kirchain describes how MIT research has found that they offer climate change mitigation benefits in all seasons.
MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers aim to design concrete recipe mixtures that use AI to shrink its environmental footprint and cost, while recycling byproducts and increasing performance.
