CO2 Utilisation for the Production of Building Materials
Aim Objective
To investigate a carbon capture and mineralisation process which produces a carbonate based building material that surpasses the physical properties of gypsum plasterboard.
Major Impact Expected
- A promising avenue for carbon capture which would take advantage of large volume buildings and construction market.
- Employs the principles of circular economy to formulate a sustainable material, made from local Qatari resources and wastes, which substitute imported commodities such as plasterboards.
- Functional products which are designed to be competitive materials, by replacing carbon intensive materials and creating added value.
Intellectual Property
A potential patent will be filled when more data is generated to ensure more certainty of the hypotheses presented.
