Competition organizers prize CarbonBuilt and CarbonCure processes, results – Concrete Products

Equipment and methods proved at commercial scale to mineralize and sequester carbon dioxide gas in finished concrete have earned their developers, CarbonBuilt and CarbonCure Technologies, top honors in NRG Cosia Carbon Xprize, a $20 million global competition centered on managing and monetizing emissions from coal and natural gas combustion. The companies will receive $7.5 million each to further develop their technologies for ready mixed and manufactured concrete production and curing. They prevailed among eight other finalists three from the United States, two from Canada, one from China, India, and United Kingdom in a six-year competition to see which team could capture the most carbon dioxide in the highest valued product(s). The 10 finalists received $500,000 for reaching the third (2019-2020) of three Carbon Xprize rounds. Launched in 2015 with 47 submissions from teams in seven countries, the competition progressed under the carbon-minded Xprize Foundation of Culver City, Cal

CO2Concrete successor CarbonBuilt fuels curing and sequestering technology – Concrete Products

CO2Concrete, an entity incubated at the University of California, Los Angeles, has changed its name to CarbonBuilt to better align with a mission to store significant amounts of carbon dioxide in concrete used for the built environment. Developed over the course of seven years at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering-hosted Institute for Carbon Management, the CarbonBuilt Reversa platform spans concrete mix design and curing innovations. TCC Materials shipped green block from its Rapid City, S.D. plant to the coal-fired Dry Fork generating station at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center in Gillette. CarbonBuilt successfully tested the Reversa platform’s carbon dioxide utilization and sequestration potential in a curing chamber adjacent to the power plant. The demonstration saw capture of more than 3 tons of carbon dioxide in a sample volume of 10,000 TCC concrete masonry units.

CarbonBuilt: NRG Cosia Carbon Xprize winner – Concrete Products

Sources: CarbonBuilt, Los Angeles; CP staff The University of California, Los Angeles Samueli School of Engineering-minted CarbonBuilt team has been named one of two winners in the NRG Cosia Carbon Xprize competition, its $7.5 million award recognizing technology that reduces the carbon footprint of concrete production by more than 50 percent. The team of faculty members, project scientists, graduate students and industry experts entered the 2015-2021 competition as Carbon Upcycling UCLA to prove CO2Concrete processes. CO2Concrete was rebranded earlier this year as CarbonBuilt, an independent entity aimed at commercializing Reversa, a concrete mix design and curing innovations platform. CarbonBuilt team member measures the temperature of a concrete block curing chamber drawing carbon dioxide-rich flue exhaust from a power plant at the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority Integrated Test Center near Gillette.
