Basics
- This page goes over a method of Carbon Storage that utilizes fixing the carbon / carbon dioxide into materials used for producing buildings
- Thus they are trapped in that building, and usually in a solid form, and thus don't have the cost/dedicated infrastructure needs of Carbon Dioxide Injection, The Risk of Gas Leaks, and the potential volatility of Biochar
Methods
Cement and Concrete
- Certain types of Cement use carbon dioxide in the curing process, and thus "suck it in" (granted need to find a LCA on them due to the Carbon Footprint of Cement )
- Also Concrete Aggregate can be made from Carbonated Mine Tailings
Elemental Carbon
- Elemental Carbon can be used (Need to find info on how the released Oxygen would impact the world)
- Typically as:
- Carbon Fiber (Either as reinforcement in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Concrete , or in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites
- Carbon Foam
- Charcoal / Carbon Black as Concrete Aggregate
- Graphite
