Reducing emissions of cement manufacturing using calcium-looping direct air capture

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In Chem Circularity , Bolongaro et al. perform a prospective life cycle analysis on calcium-looping direct air carbon capture and storage. Their analysis suggests that calcium looping, when combined with electrified cement manufacturing, can achieve net-negative carbon emissions using a shared limestone feedstock for carbon capture and cement production.
