Fairy tales on CO2 cement reabsorption
I want you to react to some biased arguments that are often opposed to the development of Geopolymer Concrete. In a recent blog published by the WORLDBANK, go to http://psdblog.worldbank.org/psdblog/2008/09/the-cost-of-car.html one can read the following comment to the article that favored Geopolymer concrete: “Not really all that amazing. The CO2 emissions from cement production (from [...]
