New ways to capture CO2 and store it permanently in recycled concrete waste

  • The Swiss firm Neustark has developed a method to turn concrete waste from demolished buildings and roads into a carbon sink to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Their process uses CO2 captured from biogas plants which is liquefied and transported to nearby demolition sites.
    There the CO2 is injected into concrete granules from a demolished building using a purpose-built tank and other technology. This triggers a mineralisation process similar to injecting CO2 deep underground. The CO2 is permanently bound in the pores and surface of the granules.
    The carbonated granules can then be used by recyclers to build roads or to make concrete for new buildings or other purposes.

    Look guys, we're spending 100 trees worth the carbon and capturing 50 trees worth the CO2. Look how smart we are

      She said the equivalent of carbon capturing of 50 trees for year in one hour.

      Stepping stones. It's when they find out it's what ancient civilizations did to create all the known limestone with the technology they had back then prior leaving the planet and the dumbest of mankind behind (along with a few intelligent minders) that they'll get more worried. Now then the question is should you take this message seriously - most wouldn't as I'm fundamentally retarded and thus one of the stupid ones. I'm personally pro co2 production due to the benefits it has, this operation aside (because it's a brilliant advance) once they realize the carbon in the atmosphere created a natural barrier from the sun and removing it resulted in the purification of the atmosphere which inturn enhanced the strength of the sun's rays resulting in a scorched earth (the reason why they left the planet back in ancient times). Fascinating isn't it. I just wish it was April fools so this comment would be regarded as a joke.... which it's not, unless you find it funny, but then again the future of earth's state isn't a laughing matter it's pretty serious. All joking aside I'm looking forward to them oxygenating water instead of carbonating it, if we are lucky they might hydrogenate the oxygenated water too which would resolve all sorts of problems derived from the release of carbon from the likes of cola. God I wish we listened to trump the world would have been such a better place. N.b. my justification for writing this - today I've had some bad news, they refused to legalise cannabis where I'm from and I'm venting whilst ultimately agreeing with you, I'm just fed up off stupid people, your not stupid, your one of the clever ones - a minder... I'll see you off planet next cycle (2000 years time). Peace.... the truth is out there.
