What is Carbon Concrete?

 , updated on
Carbon concrete is a general term for concrete that acts as a carbon sink. Normal concrete produces significant quantities of carbon dioxide. It is estimated that up to 5% of man-made carbon dioxide is due to concrete production. Carbon concrete is the idea that concrete could be altered to absorb carbon dioxide during its curing process. This may have potential to drive concrete's carbon dioxide emissions towards or below zero.
