LOW-COST, HIGH YIELD AND SCALABLE CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) MINERALIZATION TO INVENT NOVEL CARBON-NEGATIVE CONCRETE. THE RECIPIENT WILL COUPLE A COLLECTION OF ADVANCED SYNTHESIS AND GREEN CHEMISTRY, FOLLOWED BY STANDARD TESTING, SCALE-UP, AND SMALL PILOT TESTING TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF MINERALIZING CARBON DIOXIDE INTO A SPECIAL FORMULATION OF CONCRETE. THE PROJECT’S STRATEGY IS TO APPLY AND FURTHER DEVELOP THE VAST KNOWLEDGE ON CARBON DIOXIDE MINERALIZATION IN ALKALINE ENVIRONMENTS, INDUSTRIAL BY-PRODUCTS, CONCRETE CURING, AND PROCESS SCALE-UP THROUGH A BOTTOM-UP APPROACH. IN PARALLEL, A SET OF SYSTEMS-SCALE ANALYSES WILL BE PERFORMED TO UNDERSTAND THE TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT.
