The Future of Concrete

Cement production creates around 7% of man-made carbon emissions. Meanwhile, in the UK crumbling concrete is forcing schools to close ... So how big a problem is concrete, exactly?! George Imafidon gets in the mixer to discuss it with: Prof. Kevin Paine , Director of the Centre for Climate Adaptation and Environment Research at the University of Bath, focussing on the development of smart and innovative concrete technology. Dr Cyrille Dunant , Principal Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, working on zero emissions cement.
