Solid Carbon

Solid Carbon in pleased to be selected for a $3M award and we are grateful to our industry and research partners who helped make this possible: Lafarge Canada - Rob Shogren, National Renewable Energy Laboratory - Mike Griffin & Ana Aday, Oregon State University - Burkan Isgor & Jason Weiss, University of Kentucky - Bob Jewell, Wilsonville Concrete Products - Michael Bernert. Cheers to our outstanding team of researchers Sean Muir, Mac Whitaker, Elisabeth Essolebe and Vicente Ruiz great work! https://lnkd.in/gpE7M7uc Decreasing Emissions with Cement Alternatives and Reactive Biocarbon SCMs (DECARBS) City/State:?McMinnville, Oregon Federal Funding:?$3,000,000 Project Lead:?Solid Carbon, Inc. Partners:?Holcim Materials, University of Kentucky, Oregon State University, Wilsonville Concrete Products, Renewable Energy Laboratory Solid Carbon, Inc. aims to develop, test, and scale up low global warming potential (GWP) concrete enabled by the combination of three unique technologies: novel low carbon Belite-rich calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) and super sulfated slag (SSS) cement combined with alternative Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCMS) derived from high ash-fraction forest waste biochar as well as wastewater incinerator ash. Binder mix designs using biochar allow the project to develop low-carbon concrete, meeting baseline performance within 10%. This technology targets a reduction in global warming potential by 80% compared to traditional PLC-based concrete.

This last Friday we had the opportunity to provide carbon negative ingredients to Cowden Gravel & Ready Mix a Lafarge Canada company to batch concrete for Habitat for Humanity in Whatcom County. Kind thanks to Rob Shogren for providing technical assistance. https://lnkd.in/gc_HdUih

Solid Carbon has been named as a recipient of Business Oregon Awards Matching Grant. "The Matching Grants also better position companies for future fundraising and growth after the federal grants are complete, creating high-quality, high-wage jobs in our state.?" Huge thanks to Business Oregon and in particular Treasurer Tobias Read for his leadership in running this important program for businesses in the State of Oregon. https://lnkd.in/gn6_nmWa

Excited to meet with Startups and Investors at NREL’s 2024 Innovation Showcase.

200 Years of Portland Cement Celebrating Concrete’s Founding and Future On October 21, 1824, King George IV issued the patent for Portland cement, laying the foundation for the world we live in today. Two centuries later, we're not just celebrating this milestone; we're looking forward to how this industry can drive a low-carbon future. Join us at the Evergreen Aviation Museum to honor 200 years of innovation, from the pioneering origins of Portland cement to the cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of low-carbon concrete.??? Event Highlights: ???Earn 3 AIA-CES HSW Learning Units or 3 PDHs? ???Connect with leaders driving the industry toward Net-Zero? ???Enjoy dinner and a dramatic re-enactment of the original patent award? ???Complimentary transportation from PDX available Agenda: 4:00 PM: Bus from PDX Location 5:15 PM: Arrival at Evergreen Aviation Museum 5:15 PM: Welcome and Education Presentations? of Evolving Technologies 6:45 PM: Dinner with Dramatic Re-enactment of the awarding of the original patent of Portland cement 7:30 PM: Presentations from emerging technology companies 8:45 PM: Bus returns to PDX Together, we are shaping the future of sustainable construction!???

It was an honor to present Solid Carbon’s journey at NREL’s Cement and Concrete Decarbonization Event in Golden Colorado. This gathering included some of the most innovative concrete upstarts, as well as a variety of industry stakeholders.

It’s a day for celebration here at Solid Carbon! ??? ??

Thanks Gregg!

?? We're thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Solid Carbon team! ?? Dr. Sean Muir joins us as our Director of Research, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in materials science and sustainable construction materials. It is said that many hands make light work, and we are delighted to put the direction of our research and development in Dr. Muir's capable hands. With a Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from Oregon State University and a track record of securing substantial grant funding, Dr. Muir is well-equipped to lead our innovative projects and further our commitment to revolutionizing the construction industry. Prior to joining Solid Carbon, Dr. Muir served as the Chief Technology Officer at Amorphyx Inc., where he spearheaded the development of groundbreaking technologies and secured SBIR funding. Dr Muir will continue in his role as a chemistry professor at Linfield University. His experience in academia and industry, coupled with his passion for sustainability, makes him a valuable addition to our team. Welcome aboard, Dr. Muir! We're excited to collaborate with you and continue our journey towards pioneering sustainable construction materials and biochar concrete solutions. ???? #SolidCarbon #NewHire #ResearchDirector #Sustainability #ConstructionInnovation
