CARBON DIOXIDE SEQUESTRATION FROM THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY: A REVIEW OF TECHNOLOGIES, MATERIALS, AND PATHWAYS TO CARBON-NEGATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

About 8% of the world's carbon dioxide released from the construction sector, mostly from the manufacturing of cement. With an emphasis on CO₂ mineralization in structural concrete, biochar-based enhancement materials, and alternate cement-based mechanisms, this paper summarizes current developments in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) strategies across the construction industry. This analysis investigates the technological principles, performance consequences, economic viability, and environmental consequences of carbon sequestration solutions in structure materials using scientific research reported between 2020 and 2025.
