Biochar Produced from Saudi Agriculture Waste as a Cement Additive for Improved Mechanical and Durability Properties-SWOT Analysis and Techno-Economic Assessment.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia generates an enormous amount of date palm waste, causing severe environmental concerns. Green and strong concrete is increasingly demanded due to low carbon footprints and better performance. In this research work, biochar derived from locally available agriculture waste (date palm fronds) was used as an additive to produce high-strength and durable concrete.
