GWU team develops cost-effective solar process to produce lime for cement without CO2 emission

Green Car Congress

A team at George Washington University has demonstrated a new solar process that can produce lime (CaO) for cement without any emission of carbon dioxide, and at lower projected cost than the existing cement industry process. Click to enlarge. The majority of CO 2 emissions occurs during the decarbonation of limestone (CaCO 3 ) to lime (CaO).and
