Change in building materials could store billions of tonnes of carbon

US researchers have estimated that replacing conventional building materials in new infrastructure with CO2 capturing alternatives - such as mixing carbon aggregates into concrete or using bio-based materials in bricks - could store billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. According to the study, published in the journal Science, the move could help meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
