"A team of Finnish scientists has won a European innovation award for making
carbon-negative precast concrete.
Their system uses CO2 gas which mineralises as carbonate during the curing
process, eliminating the need for energy-intensive Portland cement as a binder.
Developed by Finland’s national research institute VTT, the so-called
Carbonaide system won first prize in the “expected impact” category of the
European Research and Technology Organisations’ Innovation Awards on 12
October.
Swedish contractor Skanska used Carbonaide yard-paving blocks at one of its
construction sites this autumn.
VTT is now commercialising Carbonaide to try and get a share of the
$370bn-a-year global concrete products and elements market."
