New developments in concrete production aim to reduce emissions by up to 70% compared to traditional Portland cement. Companies like Greening Concrete and Neustark are exploring innovative methods, such as replacing limestone with mining waste or using carbon-free silicate rock. While some experts believe that dilution is not the most effective approach, others see promise in alternatives like special clays or ground slag from iron production. The US Department of Energy has also provided funding for companies pioneering alternative materials.
