| Project Name | Waste-to-Energy (WTE)-Derived Low-Carbon-Footprint Concrete (LCFC) |
| Project Detail | Rutgers University (RU) aims to produce concrete from incinerator ash and concrete rubble (CR). RU will use its proprietary low-cost technology to create a low carbon footprint concrete. Assuming only electricity for crushing and milling, CR contributes a 5% carbon footprint to an adaptive cement that can be cured one of two different ways. Curing with CO2 will create a -5% carbon-negative carbonate-cement-concrete. Curing with water will create a +6% carbon footprint hydraulic concrete. Both sustainable technologies exact a reduction of 90+% for CO2 emissions and 100% for fossil fuel use. This program will bring cement production capability to states lacking cement mills, reducing CO2 emissions and freeing landfills of CR and WTE-ash. |
