DTE Materials

We are excited to announce that we have been selected to Cohort 6 of GCxN! We’ve been awarded $250,000 in non-dilutive funding to work with Shell and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to develop a Life Cycle Assessment that will generate valuable emissions and energy data around our Clearwash process. Visit our website to learn more about how we're decarbonizing concrete with bioaggregates made from forestry and agriculture residues. ? A fellow congrats to Hexas Biomass, Invizyne & ZILA BioWorks! ?? https://lnkd.in/gcjWHu95

Excited to announce that DTE Materials has been selected by ENERGYWERX and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for research funding. This voucher program will be used for continued engineering and scaleup of our Clearwash process including equipment selection and procurement, and supply chain optimization. This engineering work will be led by Sharon Tracy, PhD. The timing of this award syncs up well with our pilot trials at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and preliminary engineering completed by ideaCHEM. One step closer to bringing biomass aggregates to market for decarbonizing concrete!

At Los Angeles Climate Week 2024, CEO and Co-Founder Jose Urizar of #GCxN company DTE Materials shared valuable insights on the role of innovative materials in #decarbonization efforts. His discussion highlighted how businesses can significantly contribute to #sustainabilitygoals and reduce #carbonemissions. It's inspiring to see industry leaders like Jose driving the conversation on a #greenerfuture! ?? Check out the panel on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dEcSrzM8

I was recently interviewed about DTE Materials upcoming piloting work at National Renewable Energy Laboratory as a part of our GCxN grant. We are piloting our Clearwash process to get valuable data points on performance, cost, energy input, and polymeric coproduct valorization. In tandem with trialing on a demonstration-scale hydrolysis reactor, we are also working with NREL researchers to put together a LCA of our system from these findings. Clearwash is a water-based biorefinery process for converting ag and forestry waste into carbon negative aggregates for concrete products. Working with Shell and NREL will speed up our time to market significantly, and will allow us to accurately model COGS and carbon accounting.

We installed our first pilot DTE Materials! Privileged to participate and pilot our Stonefiber blocks at the Demo Hut at University of California, Davis. This structure combined 11 novel building technologies to serve as a standing demonstration for how the future of construction in California can incorporate low embodied carbon materials and products. This event brought together policy makers, utility partners, developers, GCs, architects, and building material startups to discuss the future of housing and buildings in CA. ?? Our Stonefiber blocks were installed to mimic a perimeter masonry fence for the structure. Each block has 2 dry lbs of wood waste that has been treated by our water-based Clearwash process. These blocks are 8 lbs lighter, have 40% less sand, and ~30% less embodied carbon than a traditional cinderblock. ?? Thank you to David Warner, Megan FitzGerald Thomas Azwell, Mike Lindheim and the entire Redhorse Constructors, Inc and all of the collaborators that made this event possible.

Excited to announce SIC's investment in DTE Materials, the world's first scalable bioaggregate for green concrete building materials! Concrete is the second most used substance in the world and contributes to ~8% of global CO2 emissions. We're excited to partner with DTE to help decarbonize one of the most important legacy industries on planet Earth. https://dtematerials.com/
