>Low or zero emissions concrete
Feels like there's already options there.

Although I'm betting it's better to just radically cut demand rather than try to invent a really good carbon-neutral/negative concrete. If we could sink a whole bunch of carbon into concrete though (significant carbon capture -> magic? -> concrete), that would be cool though.
That's a really uncomfortable fact with a lot of climate issues: it's way better to just not do the thing instead of trying to find a neutral/net-negative carbon process for the thing.
- gustaf 4y agoMaking the world cut demand for concrete might actually sound dramatically harder than making zero-emission concrete. (and both are extremely hard!)
