We all know that emission levels around the world are rising and it is disturbing the ecological balance around the world. Though efforts are being made to control it but they don’t seem enough.
Now some researchers at MIT are focusing their study on nanostructure of concrete and it’s a known fact that cement leads to around ten percent of the carbon dioxide emission world over and makes a significant contribution to global warming. If the strength and durability of concrete is discovered it can help in putting breaks to carbon dioxide emissions.
If a replacement is found out which has characteristics of concrete such as durability, strength and low cost and does not lead to the production of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere then we will be able to slow the process of global warming. Reduction of carbon dioxide by ten percent will help in the achievement of around one fifth of the target of Kyoto protocol which can be regarded as a good achievement by all standards. Let’s see how far the researchers are successful in achieving this.
