120. Carbon Soaking Concrete
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we talk about how new additives could be added to concrete to help it absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which is a major contributor to climate change. By using these additives, concrete could become a "carbon sink," which means it could potentially store more carbon than it emits, making it a more sustainable building material. This could have a positive impact on the environment and help combat climate change.
