The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management of DOE has selected a team consisting of Missouri S&T and Lawrence Livermore National Lab to advance a concept called “carbon-negative supplementary cementitious materials” developed at FuCCI. This $2.5M award includes $2M federal funding and $0.5M cost share from Missouri S&T and industrial partners. See DOE’s announcement…
In-Situ Monitoring Enabled by a Remote Fiber-optic Raman Probe
In collaboration with the the Lightwave Technology Laboratory at Missouri S&T, we have been developing an in-situ Raman probe that can be inserted into the target object (e.g., concrete and solutions) for continuous monitoring of chemical changes. Recently, we successfully employed this tool in the monitoring of the hydration of alite and belite in cement…
New Collaborators Toward Carbon-Negativity
In the last week of July, Dr. Ma visited Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and several startup companies in the fields of CO2 capture/conversion, carbon-efficient cement/concrete, and reactor design and manufacturing. Many new partners are enthusiastic about supporting and funding FuCCI’s research, development and demonstration according to the cooperative models of industrial…
