Green Concrete Fraunhofer researchers have developed a novel method for creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. These bacteria, driven by photosynthesis, multiply in a nutrient solution, forming green concrete. Rock-like solid structures are produced by adding aggregates and fillers such as sand, basalt, or renewable raw materials. Unlike traditional concrete production, this process does…
