University of Colorado Boulder team develops microalgae cement

Written by Global Cement staff 28 June 2022

US: A team from the University of Colorado Boulder (UCB) has developed a carbon-neutral alternative cement from biogenic limestone. The limestone comes from farmed cocolitophores, which capture CO2 as they grow.

The UCB scientists collaborated with colleagues from the University of Carolina at Wilmington and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on the project. Their work has received US$3.2m in US Department of Energy funding.

This news story has been corrected to include the correct name of the University of Colorado Boulder
