The idea that buildings should be constructed with an eye to slowing climate change by making them carbon neutral is being superseded by the development of even more ambitious technologies that aim to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, making them carbon negative. CO2 is a main component of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming.The Department of Energy is incentivizing work in this field, announcing this week that it is funding 18 projects that will rely on newly developed technologies that can convert buildings into carbon storage structures. The Living Materials Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder utilizes calcifying microalgae, which produce limestone, to create a carbon neutral cement, as well as cement products which can slowly pull carbon dioxide out stanley cup of the atmosphere and store it. Rebecca Mikofsky, CU Boulder material science PhD student, starts with powder limestone to create biogenic limestone produced by calcifying microalgae, known as coccolithophores.
