To investigate a carbon capture and mineralisation process which produces a carbonate based building material that surpasses the physical properties of gypsum plasterboard.

• 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.

A potential patent will be filled when more data is generated to ensure more certainty of the hypotheses presented.

Three papers in peer-reviewed journals.
