Green Lime: Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Construction Materials Industry

Lime, a key component in cement, can be used for both interior and exterior plastering. However, the production of this versatile building material gen-erates significant emissions. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ce-ramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Hermsdorf, Thuringia, are develop-ing a membrane reactor that enables climate-neutral lime production while also recovering new raw materials.
