French Researchers Develop New Method for Producing Sustainable Concrete

French researchers have developed a new method for producing sustainable concrete that could help to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. The new method, which was developed by researchers at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), uses a combination of recycled materials and natural additives to produce concrete that is both strong and durable.

The new concrete is made from a mixture of recycled concrete, fly ash, and limestone powder. The fly ash is a waste product from coal-fired power plants, and the limestone powder is a natural additive that helps to improve the strength and durability of the concrete.

The new concrete is said to be just as strong as traditional concrete, but it uses up to 50% less cement. This means that it produces significantly less CO2 emissions during production.

The researchers are currently conducting further tests on the new concrete to assess its long-term performance. However, they believe that it has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry and help to make it more sustainable.
