Other companies inject Co2 into their concrete – to offset their manufacturing emissions.
But imagine if we could make concrete WITHOUT the emissions that come from clinker production? 🤔

Guys, there are literal pictures of you burning rocks. In the Washington Post.
How much waste are you going to produce through your process?
We want you to succeed but let’s at least be transparent.
We’re decarbonizing cement by reimagining the process—without changing the final product.
We make the same product that builders know, use, and trust, but with a crucial distinction: unlike conventional cement production, our process doesn’t contribute to the climate crisis.

To produce a single metric tonne of their cement – they use roughly the same amount of electricity that a US household uses in half a year. 🏘️
That’s a lot of energy for very little output. And there’s reasonable questions to be asked about where that energy will come from... 🤔

Brian and

are half-right. Cement is hugely energy-intensive. But there is a technology ready to displace this.
#WorldEnvironmentDay
Ammonia, plastic, steel, & cement represent 17% of global energy & 25% of all CO2 emissions from fossil fuels.
Currently, there are no commercially available & readily deployable mass scale alternatives to displace these processes.

Did you know that cost-effective, carbon negative concrete is here already?
And we're building with it!

We hold the blueprint for carbon-free systems.
Identifying cost-effective solutions for jets, ships, steel, and concrete is just a matter of time.
