Revolutionizing Concrete Production: Startup Raises $1.9 Million

Finnish startup Carbonaide has secured $1.9 million in funding to develop a process that mineralizes carbon dioxide from air pollution and incorporates it into concrete production, reducing the need for heavily polluting cement. The company aims to create a more sustainable future by trapping more CO2 than it emits and plans to scale up its pilot factory to revolutionize the construction sector. This innovative approach could significantly reduce air pollution from concrete production and contribute to a more environmentally friendly built environment.

Startup's breakthrough could revolutionize infrastructure.

CarbonBuilt, a startup based in Los Angeles, has partnered with Blair Block to produce low-carbon concrete at a plant in Alabama. The company claims that its novel tech concrete can reduce the production of harmful carbon emissions by 70 to 100%. CarbonBuilt uses calcium-rich industrial waste materials to produce concrete, which is then combined with water and aggregates and moved into a temperature-controlled chamber. The process funnels harmful planet-warming gases into the chamber, stimulating a chemical reaction that creates solid concrete and permanently traps the toxic gases in the concrete blocks. If this technology were used globally, it could prevent around a billion metric tons of harmful carbon emissions from being released into the atmosphere every year.
