Cleaner Greener China

Given China’s building boom, and China’s reliance on bricks and concrete to build walls and foundations, the applications for this product could be huge if the product was proven and brought into China.

A product of Carbon Sense Solutions, it CO2 eating concrete process is one that is still under review (according to their website), and according to the EcoGeek review of the technology:

Concrete carbonation – the sucking up of CO2 by concrete as it cures – occurs naturally, but Carbon Sense Solutions says its faster curing method gets concrete to suck up more CO2 in a way that uses off-the-shelf technology that can be slapped on to their existing equipment. The process also uses 30% to 40% less energy to manufacture. The lower amount of energy used and the avoidance of expensive new equipment makes the wonder-concrete cheaper, and more profitable. Additional positive byproducts of the method are that the concrete is more durable, and more resistant to shrinking, cracking and water absorption.

Sounds like a winner to me.
