STEP process could make cement production greenhouse gas freeThe cement manufacturing process has a staggering carbon footprint - said to be responsible for up to 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the industry releases around 9 lbs of carbon dioxide for every 10 lbs of cement produced. With global production standing at around three billion tonnes each year, there remains a huge need to find a greener method of production. While there have been various efforts in recent years, researchers at George Washington University have devised the first technique, called Solar Thermal Electrochemical Production (STEP), to completely eliminate CO2 emissions from the process, and it would even be cheaper than current methods of production....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/solar-thermal-step-method-could-make-cement-production-greenhouse-gas-free/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
