scholarly journals Countries’ Progress and Enablers for Circular Carbon Economies

The circular carbon economy (CCE) is a new concept, developed in detail by Saudi scholars and stakeholders since 2019 and promoted via Saudi Arabia’s Group of Twenty (G20) presidency in 2020. The CCE is conceptualized as an economy in which atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are minimized and offset by reducing, recycling, reusing, and removing carbon. The concept emphasizes the need to address emissions holistically using all available mitigation options. It also recognizes the economic value of carbon and each country’s specific circumstances.

The Intergovernmental Panel on climate changes have concluded that- Most paths to halting global temperature increases at 2 degrees and every way to decrease it to 1.5 degrees depend on adopting methods of sucking CO2 from the sky. “CO2 removal has gone from a moral hazard to a moral imperative," says Julio Fried Mann senior research scholar at the Center for Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. There are many industries emitting the flue gases which include steam, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide. One such industry which emits carbon dioxide is cement industry. A single cement industry accounts for around 5 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Concrete is the second most widely used material on earth after the water. Concrete is used for wide range of applications like construct buildings, bridges, roads, runways, sidewalks, and dams. So, here’s the concrete with zeolite powder and zeolite sand that captures the carbon dioxide from the ambient air and reduces the atmospheric carbon dioxide making it eco-friendly. Also addition of zeolite to the concrete improves the mechanical strength of the concrete. It is more durable than the ordinary Portland cement. In this review paper, we will discuss the performance and properties of concrete incorporated with zeolite.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels increasing, the climate change has drawn increasing attention. But so far there is no good solution to this problem. This paper presents a simple and feasible way to achieve carbon dioxide liquefaction facility, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, thereby to improve the climate of the new method. This method is not only technically simple and feasible but also quite inexpensive.
