"Concrete is the most widely used building material worldwide, providing the
foundation of our modern society’s infrastructure. It is partially recyclable
and can even absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during the curing process.

However, the amount of CO2 released during the manufacturing process far
exceeds the amount that can be reabsorbed later. This is why the concrete
industry generates around 8% of global CO2 emissions—more than the aviation and
shipping industry combined.

Franco Zunino, a senior scientist at the Institute for Building Materials at
ETH Zurich, hopes to change that with a new project."
