The Firm has developed ΔC, a biochar-based carbon-negative concrete admixture made from sustainably sourced wood residues that reduces cement use and permanently stores biogenic carbon, lowering concrete’s carbon footprint by 20–30% without changing plant operations. This project advances ΔC development and manufacturing from pilot validation to commercial readiness by: 1) optimizing production, 2) completing engineering and techno-economic analysis, 3) validating industrial performance, and 4) preparing inputs for Final Investment Decision (FID).
Commercialize hydrous bio-graphene oxide (hBGO) technology for industrial applications
Develop bio graphene concrete admixture products for industrial trials/commercialization
This IRAP R&D project proposal focuses on developing an innovative and groundbreaking bio-graphene based admixture for decarbonizing concrete. Hydrous Bio-Graphene Oxide (hBGO) is made via pyrolysis of softwood lumber residues followed by surfactant-assisted liquid phase exfoliation of stable dispersions of graphene oxide nanoplatelets and micronized biochar. Subprojects include development and testing of optimal solutions for sustainable biochar production (upstream), biochar exfoliation into bio-graphene oxide (midstream), and the integration of hBGO into concrete mixtures for low-carbon app
Acquire analytical equipment
Hire a product manager
This project supports the hiring of a customer-facing Project Manager to accelerate the commercial deployment of the firm's Digital Aggregate technology and carbon-negative concrete admixture. The role focuses on coordinating field trials, supporting product implementation, and gathering customer feedback to optimize performance and adoption. By enabling real-time aggregate analysis and carbon-negative admixtures, the project contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry while promoting innovation and sustainable infrastructure.
