carbonaide turns CO2 into carbon-negative concrete blocks that can trap emissions

Carbonaide, a spin-out company from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, takes concrete action to reduce carbon footprint by transforming CO2 itself into carbon-negative concrete blocks that eventually become a carbon sink, or an object that is able to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.…

CO2 Concrete – Carbon Use Technology For Building Our Future

CO2Concrete is turning carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into construction materials and products without a need for carbon capture. Our patent-pending technology upcycles CO2 with unparalleled efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and throughput into precast CO2Concrete™ products. This breakthrough technology replaces the more than century-old paradigm of energy-intensive and CO2-intensive manufacturing of ordinary portland cement (OPC)-based concrete, and concrete products. By converting CO2 emissions from power plants, cement plants, or petrochemical production into CO2Concrete™, we will enable base industries to transform and achieve their carbon emission reduction goals.
