Carbon concrete
This recycles the carbon created by the manufacturing process back into the concrete, which also makes it more durable and lessens green house gasses.

this is a really cool technology. i wonder how much it is price wise as it could make itself prevalent in Atlas City.

They made it seem that this is also a cheaper alternative then the possible fines and taxation for high carbon pollution, but it's only in Canada right now. Maybe this is something we could also start here to help finance the city. I know there is a lot of discussion of a financial network to pay for the cities since none of us know about grants (and no one seems to be working on them yet).

I would be interested to hear about any tests done on the structual effects of this, and also the durability of the product over time, eg. does it fail.

My preference is to us materials with a long history of reliability, and to be cautious of new products that are untested in the field.

By all means use new materials, but in a small number of buildings, so any unforseen failures that develop don't effect your entire community.

Most of these materials are not so much new as they are improved. They take decades of trial and error and mix it with newer design and technology.
