The research group of the new DFG-funded Priority Program (SPP) 2436Carbon Neutral Binders, Renewable Aggregates and Concrete as Carbon Sink with the acronym NET-ZERO CONCRETE met from 21 - 22.11.24 for the kick-off in Darmstadt. Prof. Middendorf, together with M.Sc. M. Latifi, presented his sub-project BIOMAC, which is being worked on together with the working group of Prof. Koenders from the TU Darmstadt. The researchers want to reduce the cement content in their concrete by substituting reactive plant ash and using biogenic charcoal as aCO2-negative aggregate, thus producingCO2-neutral concretes. The aim of the sub-project is also to experimentally investigate and model the microstructure and in particular the transition zones between the cement paste and biogenic aggregate.
