The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to North Dakota State University (NDSU) to develop a concrete alternative that is more functionally effective and cost effective for hydro power facilities. Primary goals would be to decrease shrinkage, increase water tightness and reduce the carbon footprint of hydropower projects and facilities by eradicating the need for steel and cement.
