Carbon concrete is a combination of concrete and carbon fibers. This new composite material carbon concrete has the potential to revolutionize the entire architecture. The high-performance material is a combination of concrete and carbon fibres. It has more strength, durability and lightness than conventional concrete. The most outstanding advantages of the material are:

• Carbon does not rust. Therefore, in contrast to reinforced concrete, no thick concrete layers are required to protect the carbon. The sand consumption and the CO2 emissions associated with the production of reinforced concrete can be significantly reduced.
• The building material can be produced from any material containing carbon. For example, researchers are currently using lignins, a waste product produced during wood production.
• The load-bearing capacity with carbon is five to six times higher than with reinforced concrete.
• The carbon version is four times lighter and also has a significantly longer service life.
