ENTREPRISE. Les entreprises Patio Drummond et CarbiCrete lancent ce jeudi les premiers blocs de béton sans ciment et négatifs en carbone. Ils sont fabriqués à Drummondville. L’annonce a été faite…
Patents are pending on the use of magnesium silicate as a cement substitute. Its production requirements are less energy-intensive than ordinary Portland cement (at a heating requirement of around 650 °C for talc compared to 1500 °C for limestone to produce Portland cement), while it absorbs far more carbon dioxide as it hardens. This results in a negative carbon footprint overall, as the cement substitute removes 0.6 tonnes of CO2 per tonne used. This contrasts with a positive carbon footprint of 0.4 tonnes per tonne of conventional cement.
