Carbon-negative construction materials aim to reduce or even reverse CO₂ emissions associated with traditional cement production. Innovations include alternative binders like magnesium silicates, geopolymer cements, and bio-based aggregates that sequester CO₂ during curing. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is embedded in the production process, converting industrial CO₂ emissions into building-grade materials. Adoption is driven by climate goals, regulatory incentives, and green building certifications. These materials enable the construction sector to transition toward carbon neutrality while maintaining structural integrity and cost competitiveness.
