Funded Activity Summary

Carbonate binding: an ecologically sustainable alternative to cement. Carbonate binding is a frontier technology that promises a new generation of advanced materials for applications in construction. Precast concrete accounts for a large and increasing portion of total concrete usage. Precast materials made by carbonate binding would offer several advantages over conventional precast concrete. The energy savings of a low temperature process with negligible greenhouse gas emissions would contribute immensely to the goal of an environmentally sustainable Australia. The reduced hardening period would offer substantial increases in productivity to manufacturers.
