Abstract

Natural systems balance CO₂ gas overloads by sequestering it in limestone; this technology uptakes CO₂ in a similar way. Making Portland cement accounts for 8-10% of CO₂ emissions worldwide. Thus there is a tremendous opportunity to utilize this excess CO₂ in a limestone like product, concrete. This coating technology takes up CO₂ to provide a permanent CO₂ sequestration site in concrete while releasing O₂ and enhancing the strength and life span of concrete to create a significant environmental impact.
