Captured carbon dioxide could one day fuel an $800 billion industry
It sounds like science fiction, but for a select few, capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy production emissions to create viable and economical carbon products is a hard-won reality that could breathe new life into the Powder River Basin and other coal communities.
In the five years following the 2015 commencement of the International Carbon X Prize competition, and its conclusion in 2020, where ten teams from five countries strove to identify new economical uses for captured carbon in the hopes of claiming one of two $7.5 million grand prizes, researchers and industry leaders have discovered how to utilize carbon in ways previously unimaginable.
(XPRIZE) Both $7.5M Grand Prize Winners Developed Technologies Focused on Decarbonizing Concrete, the World’s Largest Material Industry – XPRIZE, the global leader in designing and implementing innovative competition models to solve the world’s grandest challenges, today announced that CarbonCure Technologies and CarbonBuilt have won the $20M NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, a prize that set out to convert CO2 emissions into valuable products.
Selected by a panel of independent judges, both winning teams developed solutions aimed at reducing CO2 emissions associated with traditional concrete, which is currently the world’s most abundant human-made material and accounts for seven percent of all global CO2 emissions. The two team’s award-winning technologies will be, and already are, game-changers for global decarbonization and the fight against climate change.
