Problem
The construction industry faces significant challenges in reducing its carbon footprint, particularly concerning the production and lifecycle of concrete. Capturing and permanently sequestering biogenic carbon dioxide within recycled construction materials is not yet a widely adopted practice.
Solution
Carborok offers a CO2 mineralization solution designed for the circular economy of recycled concrete. Our proprietary technology captures biogenic CO2 and facilitates its durable sequestration within recycled concrete aggregates and other building materials. We deploy and operate CO2 capture units, transforming captured CO2 into stable carbonate compounds. This process contributes to climate change mitigation by creating carbon-negative building materials and enabling a more sustainable construction lifecycle.
Target Audience
Our primary customers are concrete recycling facilities and construction material producers seeking to integrate carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies into their operations.
