What can we do about BS emissions?
Carbon is not a pollutant.
They are finding amazing uses for graphene. Now to find a feasible way of manufacturing graphene in the first place.
“Yet perhaps more importantly, by including graphene we can reduce the amount of materials required to make concrete by around 50 per cent — leading to a significant reduction of 446 kilograms per ton of the carbon emissions.”
ROFLMAO. Key quote: “...446 kilograms per ton...”
The professor said that.
I don’t care how smart she is in finding innovative uses for a substance still not being fully-utilized for its benefits: She’s awfully dumb.
That, or clearly even the educated among us have extreme difficulty in transferring to the metric system.
“Educated” being a word used quite loosely when referring to a person bound to the climate change religion...
They lost me on the first line. Volcanoes and cow farts vastly eclipse carbon emissions from human activity.
The most honest measure of greenness is the price. If it costs more, more energy is being consumed somewhere. If graphene infused concrete is really greener it will be cheaper. If not, it's a simple matter to track down where the extra carbon emissions are coming from: just follow the money.
Yea gota reduce that 0.04% CO2 in the atmosphere
You know I don’t give a CRAP about carbon emissions!, But if it makes concrete better, stronger, and cheaper? I’m on board!
Graphene is nothing more than a researchers way of acquiring more funds to chase said pipe dream.
Or just mix in fly ash instead. Readily available and really cheap.
I have this suspicion that graphene is going to be the next asbestos.
you know what might work even better than GRAPHENE?
GANGRENE - yeah! I’m filing a patent, and applying for a bunch of grants and subsidies.
We can make planets out of the stuff./s
