Environmental impact of concrete use in the Dutch

In 2010 14 million m3 of concrete was used in Dutch construction and around 550 kt of reinforcement steel. From cradle to grave this concrete use had a climate impact of 3.5 Mt CO2 (1.7% of Dutch national emissions). The analysis also encompassed the carbon emissions of energy consumption during the use phase of homes and offices in 2010.

Performance of energy storage system containing cement mortar

PCM, such as polyethylene glycol [7], paraffin [8], and biomaterials [9,10], have been embedded in concrete [11,12], gypsum [13–15] and mortar [16–18] owing to their excellent capacity for latent heat energy storage. The addition of PCMs is effective in mitigating the changes in indoor temperature caused by the outdoor environment [19].

Advanced Concrete Steam Accumulation Tanks for Energy Storage

Steam accumulation is one of the most effective ways of thermal energy storage (TES) for the solar thermal energy (STE) industry. However, the steam accumulator concept is penalized by a bad relationship between the volume and the energy stored; moreover, its discharge process shows a decline in pressure, failing to reach nominal conditions in the
