Swiss researchers chart path to zero-emission cement

By Frédéric Simon of EURACTIV.com   The construction sector can cut polluting emissions up to 80% by applying efficiency measures along the whole value chain, according to new research. If combined with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, emissions could even be brought down to zero by 2050, they argue. Achieving carbon neutrality in the (…)
