Green Lime: Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Construction Materials Industry

Summary by TechXplore
Lime, a key component in cement, can be used for both interior and exterior plastering. However, the production of this versatile building material generates significant emissions. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Hermsdorf, Thuringia, are developing a membrane reactor that enables climate-neutral lime production while also recovering new raw materials.

Lime can be used as interior and exterior plaster and is a major component of cement. However, the production of the versatile building material is emission-intensive. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS are developing a membrane reactor in Hermsdorf (Thuringia), which enables climate-neutral lime production and at the same time creates new raw materials.
