$1.67M Grant to Study Solar Cement

An outdoor mobile solar setup where concentrated sunlight is used to provide the energy required to turn limestone into lime, one of the main ingredients of cement.

After power production, cement production is the largest single contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.  Researchers will examine the use of a green electrochemical process to form cement and other useful materials without producing CO2 gas emissions.  MORE
