What if concrete could store energy that turned buildings, roads, and infrastructure into massive power banks? In this episode, we’re joined by Damian Stefaniuk, Research Scientist at MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), and the Electron-Conductive Cement-based Materials Hub (EC³ Hub). Damian’s research explores how concrete can be engineered to conduct electricity and store energy at up to 10x the capacity of traditional materials — while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of cement production…
Damian is a structural and materials engineering scientist who specializes in the development of sustainable construction materials and structures. His research focuses on science-enabled engineering of cement-based materials, with applications ranging from corrosion-resistant prestressed bridges and carbon-storing pre-cure carbonation to electron-conductive carbon concrete for renewable energy storage.
Dive in now to discover:
How concrete can be made into a conductive material.
Carbon-based conductive cement and nanomaterials.
Infrastructure’s role in clean energy and emissions reduction.
You can follow along with Damian and his work here!
