Published purpose
The Firm has developed ΔC, a biochar-based carbon-negative concrete admixture made from sustainably sourced wood residues that reduces cement use and permanently stores biogenic carbon, lowering concrete’s carbon footprint by 20–30% without changing plant operations. This project advances ΔC development and manufacturing from pilot validation to commercial readiness by: 1) optimizing production, 2) completing engineering and techno-economic analysis, 3) validating industrial performance, and 4) preparing inputs for Final Investment Decision (FID).
