Despite being a broad debate, carbon-neutral architecture tends to emerge mainly from two fronts in the discussion of architectural practice: design strategies and construction technology. It seeks to reduce the impact on the environment through minimal consumption of its surroundings and ...
Towards carbon-neutral construction materials: Carbonation of cement-based materials and the future perspectivedoi:10.1016/j.jobe.2019.101062As with all industrial processes, concrete production comes with environmental costs that are proportionate to its use. As such, approximately 8% of all, global ...
The major properties of biochar are correlated to the features and functionalities of biochar-enhanced construction materials. Further advances in our understanding of biochar’s roles in various composites can foster the next-generation design of carbon–neutral construction materials. Graphical Abstract...
The obstacles to carbon neutral concrete remain considerable. The energy intensive process to produce cement — and concrete by extension — generates around eight per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. As countries around the world look to decarbonize, the industry has come under increasing...
The analysis focuses on practices to achieve carbon neutrality in commercial developments, such as standard setting, measurement, materials selection, construction techniques, and knowledge. Results showed that a carbon-neutral commercial building can be achieved even though there are a number of ...
Carbon-neutral economy with fossil fuel-based hydrogen energy and carbon materials 来自 EconPapers 喜欢 0 阅读量: 118 作者: JW Halloran 摘要: Hydrocarbon fossil fuels can be considered as hydrogen ores for CO-free energy, and carbon ores for carbonaceous construction materials. Hydrogen fuel can ...
2). Referring to bioenergy as carbon neutral or having zero net emissions may be misleading; there are emissions associated with producing the biomass, such as from fossil fuel used in cultivation, harvest, processing and transport, and in manufacture and construction of fuel conversion technology....
As the world's largest carbon emitter, China has set out a clear timetable for carbon neutrality—to reduce its carbon emission intensity in 2030 by more than 65% from the 2005 level, and reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. We note that...
"Through its carbon neutral commitment, Synopsys is taking action and delivering impact now, ensuring investments in projects that improve the health and sustainability of communities that are most impacted by climate change." Through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and investments...
But he cautions: “Even with carbon neutral and potentially carbon negative materials, the project will not achieve an embodied carbon negative footprint when construction is complete.” For instance, there is no carbon negative plumbing. “To quote our plumber at the end of a meeting: ‘There...
