Precast Solutions - September/October 2008 - (Page 20) CAPTURING CARBON WITH PRECAST CO2 ACCELERATED CONCRETE CURING MAY REDUCE BY CAPRICE LAWLESS GREENHOUSE GASES AND PRODUCE A BETTER PRODUCT dreamstime.com altered T CARBON SENSE SOLUTIONS PRESIDENT AND CEO ROBERT NIVEN. he concrete industry recognizes its responsibility to utilize available technology to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in storage (CCS) technology as it applies to precast concrete facilities. production whenever it is economically feasible. GHG emissions are believed to be a major contributor to global warming. In industry initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, the precast concrete industry may have a new, sustainable technology available to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and improve product and process conditions at its production facilities. This article takes a look at the potential of carbon capture and POLLUTION SOLUTION SET IN STONE A revolutionary, inexpensive, steam-curing/alternative concrete curing process now being tested in Canada holds tremendous promise for the precast industry's effort to reduce CO2 emissions. Carbon sequestration is another term for carbon capture. By using this process to capture gas emissions from standard industrial facility heaters or steam boiler 20 PRECAST SOLUTIONS | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2008 http://www.dreamstime.com
