About this award
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 methods to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach. The project will also conduct techno-economic and life cycle assessments to understand the commercial viability of the carbon-negative concrete. The funding supports the development and pilot testing of this innovative CO2 mineralization technology from October 2023 to September 2024.
Description
The recipient will couple a collection of advanced synthesis and green chemistry, followed by standard testing, scale-up, and small pilot testing to demonstrate feasibility of mineralizing carbon dioxide into a special formulation of concrete. The project's strategy is to apply and further develop the vast knowledge on carbon dioxide mineralization in alkaline environments, industrial by-products, concrete curing, and process scale-up through a bottom-up approach. In parallel, a set of systems-scale analyses will be performed to understand the techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment.
