The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $189M Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to Brimstone Commercial, LLC. Brimstone will construct and operate a new plant to commercialize a deeply decarbonized process for making Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and co-products, including Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) and Smelter-Grade Alumina (SGA). The project will develop a transformative chemical-based cement production process that...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) program to Heidelberg Materials US, Inc. (Heidelberg Materials) for the Mitchell Cement Plant Decarbonization Project. This project, located in Mitchell, Indiana, is designed to capture at least 95% of carbon dioxide emissions from the cement plant and steam generation, preventing 2 million metric tons of CO2 per year from entering the atmosphere. The project will...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $86,680,364 Cooperative Agreement under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253) to Terra CO2 Technology Holdings, Inc. The objective of the project is to establish a facility in Magna, UT that will produce 240,000 tons per annum of locally sourced, low-cost, low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials using above-ground mine tailings. The project will create 61 high-paying jobs and...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $40,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253) is supporting Furno Materials Inc. to commercialize its modular cement production technology in Chicago, IL. The key project goals are to: 1) replace at least 44% of raw materials with industrial waste (e.g., crushed concrete fines) to produce ordinary Portland cement, 2) implement an efficient...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $57,482,917 Cooperative Agreement under the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications program (CFDA 81.253) to Urban Mining Industries, LLC located in New Rochelle, NY. The objective of this project is to construct manufacturing plants that convert waste glass into a ground glass pozzolan (GGP) material that can replace up to 50% of the cement used in concrete, thereby decarbonizing the concrete by over 40%. The...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), provides $3,026,792.00 in funding to Calcify LLC's Carbon Capture Machine (CCM) division to develop a low-emissions, carbon-neutral cement production process. The project aims to utilize a proprietary carbonation reactor and a reactive form of calcium carbonate synthesized from captured...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) provides $5,296,800 to Calportland Co. to develop a new and innovative method for mineralization of CO2 with processed recycled concrete. The project aims to use the carbonated paste from the recycled concrete as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in blended cement formulations, with...
This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $9,622,050.00, was granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management under the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program. The project aims to design, build, and field test an engineering-scale membrane hybrid carbon capture system at a cement plant. Key objectives include: 1) Capturing over 95% of the cement plant's carbon dioxide emissions, 2) Implementing a community benefits plan to...
The National Cement Company of California (NCC-CA) has been awarded a $500,000,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255). The project aims to construct and operate an integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) system, along with a connection to a CO2 transport pipeline, at NCC-CA's cement plant in Lebec, California. The project will utilize three key processes: 1) replacing a portion of the plant's fossil fuel use with...
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management awarded C-Crete Technologies LLC a $2,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Fossil Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.089). The project aims to develop a low-cost, high-yield, and scalable process to mineralize carbon dioxide (CO2) into a specialized formulation of carbon-negative concrete. C-Crete Technologies will apply advanced synthesis, green chemistry, and standard concrete testing and scale-up...
