If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world.

Cement production is a huge source of carbon emissions with no green alternative, but a new process that uses waste from demolished buildings could dramatically reduce its climate impact

Heat trapping carbon dioxide emissions from making cement, a less talked about but major source of carbon pollution, have doubled in the last 20 years, new global data shows.

As construction surges, so does the pollution created by carbon-intensive industries

Sublime's carbon-free cement was poured for a Boston building—the first time the product was commercially used.

Sublime Systems uses chemicals instead of heat and other minerals instead of limestone.

Holcim AG and CRH PLC joined forces to invest in a new startup

Electricity and transportation each contribute about a quarter of America's carbon emissions. Thanks to the growth of renewable energy and electric cars, those sectors are starting to get cleaner. Heavy industry is also a major source of pollution. The White House pledged billions for projects to spur a green revolution in those industries. William Brangham discussed more with Rebecca Dell.

India is the world's second-largest cement producer and consumer.

A new solution from Cambridge University could recycle both concrete and steel at the same time, by throwing old concrete into steel-recycling furnaces. If done using renewable energy, the process could make for completely carbon-zero cement.

Cement production currently accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions.

A new initiative aims to reduce emissions from steel, cement, aluminum and other materials used in the industrial sector, which generates about a third of the nation's greenhouse gases.

It's a major contributor to climate change — the way buildings and roads are made with concrete. Now one California startup has developed a technology that ...

A new report found that just 57 companies produced 80 percent of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide between 2016 and 2022.
