To mitigate the threats of increasing cement related emissions, ECO-CEMENT will allow recovering valuable resources from industry, capturing CO2 and transforming both products into ecological cement that can be used in construction or novel environmental applications.The main objective of ECO-CEMENT is to develop a novel bio-mimetic technology for enzyme-based microbial carbonate precipitation.
