People love to overlook certain things that pollute, just because we don't have an alternative yet. We never talk about the emissions caused from cement, which produces more carbon dioxide than the entire aviation industry. Did you know that 5% of all CO2 production comes from cement?
There is finally an alternative. The British engineering firm, Novacem, has created a new cement that uses magnesium silicates, which emit no carbon dioxide when they are heated. As the cement hardens, it absorbs CO2. In all, it removes about .6 tons of carbon dioxide per ton of cement used.

omg...
we're doomed
Last year the Lafarge company released a new powderless ciment : it was great advance for lung health concerns. But it was 20% more expensive. Guess what kind of ciment I'm selling this year : the good old cheap stuff.
Except for a few iconic architect houses, the end buyers just want a price. If we didn't have imposed quality regulations, we'd end up quickly like China with its low end school concrete...
Good luck for the pricing.
By the way, does Troll be gone work?
