Abstract

With the increasing demand for carbon reduction in the construction sector, the development of low-carbon building materials and their potential contribution to carbon capture and storage (CCS) have attracted growing research attention. Over the past five years, many studies have explored new directions in the field of energy-saving building materials; thus, this paper will examine the progress and popular issues in current research to identify recent developments. The potential roles of green decorative materials, renewable materials and adsorptive materials in carbon capture and storage, as well as emission reduction, are introduced. Most of the previous studies have focused on improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. This paper studies the relationship and optimisation of building materials with CCS, as well as improvements in the efficiency, cost and technical specificity of CCS technology through different building materials. Based on the above studies, it has been shown that combining environmentally friendly building materials with CCS can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. In addition, the current deficiencies in research are identified and prospects for promoting the development of this area are proposed.
