A study of the properties of alkali activated cement concrete with potassium carbonate activator.

(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.

Topic:

Net Zero emission transition

Alkali-activated cements (AAC) have recently attracted the vivid interest of the civil engineering industry as promising innovative alternatives to Portland Cement (PC) which is responsible for 8% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In this context, this paper studies concrete produced using potassium...Read more

Investigating ammonia-free urea hydrolysis biocementation processes

Safdar M., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M., Garelick J.

Topic:

Net Zero emission transition

Biocementation (i.e., the production of biomimetic cement through the metabolic activity of microorganisms) has attracted the vivid interest of researchers worldwide in the last decade. To date most research works and commercial products proposed biocementation using the urea hydrolysis metabolic...Read more

Fair guidance in ratcheting up the national net-zero emission ambitions

Li M., Zheng X., (Corresponding) Wang C.

Topic:

Net Zero emission transition

National net-zero pledges have brought the Paris Agreement temperature target within reach, yet they still need a boost. Current evaluations and analyses of net-zero targets have fallen short in equity. We use a transparent and multidimensional approach to go beyond the long-standing dispute of...Read more
