Alasker et al. (2026): A systematic review on carbon sequestration and energy storage potential in 3D-printed low-carbon composites

Yasser Alasker, Mohamed Hechmi El Ouni and Nejib Ghazouani, IN: Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials, https://doi.org/10.1080/21650373.2026.2710211

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is transforming construction by enabling automated fabrication with minimal material waste; however, its high binder demand increases embodied carbon. This review critically examines recent advances in carbon sequestration and thermal energy storage in 3D-printed low-carbon composites, emphasizing their potential to support carbon-neutral construction. The review discusses sustainable binder systems, including limestone calcined clay cement, geopolymers, reactive magnesium oxide, and other emerging materials, together with carbonation curing, CO₂ mixing, CO₂ jetting, and carbonated recycled aggregates as effective mineralization strategies.
