    DescriptionDesigning waste-derived materials to produce sustainable concrete – a potential mine for the future?
    CIWM Early Careers Ambassador, Dr Sadish Oumabady & Dr Rory Doherty FCIWM spotlight their research project that provides a circular solution to help two of the most polluting industries, agriculture (poor water quality) and construction (carbon emissions).

    Biochar based concrete
    The project in Queen’s University Belfast is an industry-led collaboration funded through the Centre for Advanced Sustainable Energy (CASE) with Agri-Food Biosciences Institute (AFBI), United Renewables, Mineral Products Association NI, Mannok Build, Breedon Group, Irish Cements and Northstone NI as research partners.
