CO 2, Carbon and materials

New building materials could lock away billions of tons of CO2
The quest to limit global warming and stabilize Earth's climate hinges on achieving net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases. This goal requires balancing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions with greenhouse gas removal.
Scientists Think That Billions of Tons of Carbon Dioxide Can Be Stored in Construction Materials
A new study examines ways that carbon could be used as a key ingredient in building materials—particularly biomass plastics and cement. Obstacles still remain, as some of these technologies are still in the development stage and many of these carbon-based materials have yet to be introduced into building codes and standards.
Construction materials could store carbon in homes and buildings, helping the climate
Explore how common construction materials like concrete and plastics can store carbon and fight climate change.
Innovative Materials Turning Buildings Into Massive Carbon Sinks
Discover how everyday building materials could be the key to massive carbon storage, according to a new study. Technologies like biochar in concrete and biomass-based plastics could turn buildings into carbon sinks,
3 Building Materials Stocks Benefiting from the Construction Surge
Strong government infrastructure investments, rising construction starts, and increased demand for sustainable, resilient projects across the U.S. benefit the building materials market. Therefore, considering top building material stocks like Owens Corning (OC),
