Innovations in new material development and alternatives to traditional materials is a booming business. Universities and Think Tank Collaboratives are littered with start-ups attempting to make bold breakthroughs with new materials. 

Almost every one of them is backed with some kind of scientific advancement that makes it possible. Making it commercially viable, however, is always the mountain to climb. Will it perform the same? Can it be mass-produced? Will it be priced the same as the existing material in high-quantities? All good questions that are typically the make-or-break lines for future success.

According to some estimates, the generation of the heat used to produce traditional portland cement is responsible for 5% to 8% of all human-made CO2 emissions. A new substance known as C-Crete, however, is claimed to be a much greener – yet still practical – alternative.
