  1. 1. The Effect on Mechanical Properties in Biochar Replaced Cement & Aggregate in Concrete Before and After Fire Exposure

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Felix Hansen; Mathias Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Biochar; Concrete; Sintering; Fire; Mechanical properties; Sustainability; Cement; Biochar in concrete; Building industry; Concrete exposed to fire.; Biokol; Betong; Sintring; Eld; Mekaniska egenskaper; Hållbarhet; Cement; Biokol i betong; Byggindustri; Brandexponerad betong.;

    Abstract : Concrete is good as a construction material regarding fire and its properties regarding strength. However, the concrete expands and cracks due to fire resulting in structural damage. According to the literature the concrete usually loses its strength during and after fire exposure due to themechanical and physical changes. READ MORE

  3. 2. Separate Calcination in Cement Clinker Production : A laboratory scale study on how an electrified separate calcination step affects the phase composition of cement clinker

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Amanda Vikström; [2021]
    Keywords : Cement; Cement clinker; Calcination; Separate calcination; Electrification; CO2 atmosphere; Product quality; Product characterization; XRD; HT-XRD; Rietveld refinement;

    Abstract : Cement production is responsible for around 7% of the global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. More than half of these emissions are due to the unavoidable release of carbon dioxide upon thermal decomposition of the main raw material limestone. READ MORE

  4. 3. Propelling the Commercialization of ‘Novel Cements’: An investigation of demand-side factors to accelerate decarbonizing technologies within the cement industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Elizabeth McNamee; [2020]
    Keywords : cement; concrete; decarbonizing technologies; novel alternative green cements concretes; demand-side; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Accounting for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions, the cement industry is one of the greatest contributors to climate change, despite the lack of focus on this sector in popular discourse. Deep cuts in this sector are challenging to achieve due to necessitated alteration of material components and formulation of the traditional product in addressing non-energy related ‘process emissions’.

  5. 4. Environmentally improved concrete is compared with ordinary concrete with respect to estimated environmental impact

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Fatin Alzuhairi; abdulfata Fatah; [2020]
    Keywords : greenhouse gas; Climate Neutral Concrete; alternative binders; environmental impact; Klimatneutralmålen; nettonollutsläpp; Betonglivscykelanalys; alternativa bindemedel; vattencementtal; cementsmängd; klimatförbättrad betong;

    Abstract : Swedish buildings account for a large part of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions, which is why the construction industry within the framework of the concrete initiative has produced a Roadmap for Climate Neutral Concrete. The climate neutral targets meant that Sweden will have net carbon emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 2045. READ MORE

  6. 5. Alternatives to carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the deep decarbonisation of the Norwegian cement industry : A cost-optimisation study of GHG mitigation measures

    University essay from KTH/Energi och klimatstudier, ECS

    Author : Oskar Vågerö; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Norway’s two cement manufacturing plants are both among the top 10 largest national point sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and together contribute to 2% of the total GHG emissions. One of the important measures being pushed for to mitigate these emissions is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), for which the Norwegian Government is to make an investment decision in 2020/2021.
