"textContent": "Cement has been a vital building block (pun intended) in constructing civilization. However, its manufacturing process has also made it a wrecking ball on the environment, with a carbon footprint that rivals that of the aviation industry. Scientists from the University of British Columbia have devised a method that dramatically cuts cement’s carbon footprint using electricity.\n\nContinue Reading\n\n**Category:** Materials, Engineering\n\n**Tags:** Building and Construction, University of British Columbia, Cement, Concrete, Environmentally-friendly, American Chemical Society",
