Biocementing with Microbes

Laura Maria Gonzalez (Registered Student)

Today, the production of cement for concrete accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions. Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a promising biocement alternative. The process makes use of microbes to catalyze calcium carbonate crystals that can bind aggregate together. The following booklet is version 1 of a guide that intends to increase the accessibility of the process of biocementing with microbes with the hope that one day, fabrication will happen in collaboration with living microorganisms.
