Holcim AG X Neustark

Oberdorf, Switzerland

Mineralises demolished concrete, storing carbon along the way.

Mobile storage site of the next generation. Originally stationed in Oberdorf, this plant was built to be moved between various Holcim concrete recycling sites in Switzerland to allow for optimal storage conditions.

Minus Materials Regenerative Limestone Quarry

Minus Materials Regenerative Limestone Quarry

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.

Bair Block

Bair Block

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.
