Forscher haben ein neues CO2-negatives Baumaterial entwickelt. Dieses enzymatische Strukturmaterial ist ein starkes, langlebiges und recycelbares Baumaterial, das durch einen energiearmen, bioinspirierten Prozess hergestellt wird

> the research team engineered ESM by using an enzyme that helps convert carbon dioxide into solid mineral particles. These particles were then bound together and cured under mild conditions, enabling the resulting material to be molded into structural forms within hours. Unlike traditional concrete, which requires high temperatures and weeks of curing, ESM is created rapidly and with a dramatically lower environmental impact.

> “What our team has developed is a practical, scalable alternative that doesn’t just reduce emissions—it actually captures carbon. **Producing a single cubic meter of ESM sequesters more than 6 kilograms of CO2, compared to the 330 kilograms emitted by conventional concrete.”**

> ESM’s rapid curing, tunable strength, and recyclability make it especially promising for real-world applications such as roof decks, wall panels, and modular building components. Its repairability could cut long-term construction costs and drastically reduce the volume of material sent to landfills each year.
