Environmental impact of concrete and cement
I have left a proposal that the cement article's discussion of Environmental impact of cement be united with this article. There is almost complete overlap of considerations. JonRichfield (talk) 18:52, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

What's up with all the undocumented references to India in the first paragraph? 194.255.5.227 (talk) 15:31, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The whole introduction is just not up to wikipedia editorial standard. Can we just delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.120.82.142 (talk) 09:50, 26 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I can find no verifiable source for the 4-8% numbers in the first paragraph. The citation doesn't support it, and I can find no other sources.  Still looking, but I recommend removing that information until it's verified. JimMcL61 (talk) 13:38, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Novacem
Novacem isn't mentioned. Perhaps include it ? It seems to have been bought up since then (by Calix I believe), see https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/oct/11/mystery-firm-buys-novacem-green-technology-rights There are also some others like CarbonCure (see http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/building-a-better-world-with-green-cement-81138/?page=2) KVDP (talk) 15:37, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

NOP
Just wondering whether the para on carbon absorbing concrete violates NOP rules. I already changed the wording to make it less loaded and more neutral, but not sure if more is required. The sentence is the following one:

"Italian company Italcementi designed a kind of cement..."

Thoughts?

Room for Improvement
Hello fellow wikipedians, just wanted to let the community working in this article for some time, that I will be expanding/possibly editing and contributing to this article as part of a graduate environment program assignment, the sections will be that of carbon concrete and the one referring to urban heat as it shows some difficulties in the sources, I appreciate all the comments and hope to make a contribution to the article, as it pertains great value for the future, please do let me know if anything, many thanks Noribel2013 (talk) 23:26, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Noribel2013Noribel2013 (talk) 23:26, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Room for Improvement update
Hello, Fellow wikipedians, Hope you are staying safe during these times; I have made some changes in regards to the concrete absorbing and carbon concrete, in alignment with the research conducted it seemed pertinent as the sections overlapped to merge them in to one in a more succinct informative matter, Have also expanded revised and updated the sources with peer reviewed journals in that section and Urban heat, I would be interested in hearing your comments, please do let me know if anything, thanks

Carbon Concrete
I don't think so much detail into weathering carbonation is appropriate in this section as it is generally considered a harmful side effect of CO2 exposure on concrete. Further, the source (CarbonCure, TECHNICAL NOTE - Types of Concrete Carbonation), which was not cited in the article, is of a commercial company promoting its early age carbonation technology so additional citations would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ms4062020 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Need more quotes or elaboration for me to understand the following wording
"The most effective method of production of this concrete would use the exhaust gas of a power plant, where an isolated chamber could control temperature and humidity." Can anybody help? Thanks. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 12:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Bad Citation - Concrete Carbon Emissions
I was interested to learn that concrete produces 4-8% of global carbon emissions as I'm currently doing graduate research in this field and haven't seen that figure before. Sadly, on following the citation to the guardian article, and then following the Guardian's citation to the Chatham House report, I found that this article quotes a misquote by the Guardian. Chatham house actually said that 4-8% of global carbon emissions stem from cement production. I'm not confident editing Wikipedia articles and don't have time to learn right now so am leaving this comment in the hope someone else can do so. 144.6.177.16 (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
