News Concrete made from algae? Chicago firm offers a closer look at ‘bio-blocks,’ a zero-carbon alternative Eileen T. Meslar/Chicago Tribune 1 of 3 ...

Concrete has helped build civilizations for thousands of years, from ancient pyramids to modern skyscrapers. But today, it’s ...

Cement production is responsible for around 8% of global carbon emissions. Using microalgae, rather than CO2-releasing limestone, could drastically cut that carbon footprint.

Bell explained the algae continues to sequester carbon even after it's made into these concrete blocks. The algae also help to make the blocks super-strong using the same process you find in nature.

Concrete is a huge contributor to worldwide CO2 emissions, and Concrete Masonry Units (aka cinder blocks or breeze blocks) make up a significant part of this. However, a new project by Skidmore ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a way of using algae to create carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative concrete.

Humans produce more concrete than any other material on the planet. It is the literal foundation of modern civilization – and for good reason. Concrete is strong, durable, affordable and ...

Concrete is strong, durable, affordable and available to almost every community on the planet. However, the global concrete industry has a dirty little secret – it alone is responsible for more ...
