Minus Materials

Boulder, CO, USA

Using algae to generate carbon negative limestone for cement!

With this breakthrough demonstration project Minus Materials will install and operate a first-of-its-kind “regenerative quarry” pilot project in Boulder County that will support the production of carbon-negative biorenewable limestone using microalgae. Limestone produced can be used as a substitute for conventional emissions intensive ‘clinker’, the base component of Portland cement.

CarbonBuilt

Childersburg, Alabama, USA

World’s first ultra-low carbon concrete mineralizes atmospheric carbon

CarbonBuilt produces the world’s first ultra-low carbon concrete blocks. The new blocks reduce embodied carbon by 70-100+% through cement replacement and by mineralizing atmospheric CO2. They cost no more to produce than traditional concrete. More plants are in development.
