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.
