西班牙加泰罗尼亚理工大学开发出一种适宜在地中海型气候环境当中使用的生物混凝土。在使用这种生物混凝土建造的建筑外墙上能够生长苔藓和地衣。这种生物混凝土具有很多优势:既能吸收二氧化碳,又能美化墙体,还能提高建筑物的保温性。科学家利用两种以水泥为原料的材料研发出这种新型的生物混凝土。一种材料是利用通用硅酸盐水泥研制的,pH值 Spain’s Catalonia Institute of Technology has developed a biological concrete suitable for use in the Mediterranean climate. Moss and lichens can grow on exterior walls of buildings constructed using this bio-concrete. This bio-concrete has many advantages: both to absorb carbon dioxide, but also beautify the wall, but also improve the insulation of the building. The scientists used two cement-based materials to develop this new type of bio-concrete. One material was developed using Universal Portland cement, pH
