Brimstone secures US$189m to decarbonise cement industry

26 March 2024, Published under Cement News

Brimstone , the California-based building materials company that specialises in low-carbon cement production, has been awarded an investment of US$189m by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). The funding is to be used to finance the construction of a commercial-scale cement plant which incorporates Brimstone’s advanced decarbonisation technology.  The proposed plant would produce up to 140,000tpa of high-quality ordinary Portland cement (OPC) wh...

Decarbonised Cement and Concrete Alliance to accelerate low-carbon solutions

18 January 2024, Published under Cement News

The Decarbonised Cement and Concrete Alliance (DC2) is a new US-based coalition dedicated to growing awareness around policies that will accelerate the adoption of novel carbon-reducing solutions in infrastructure. DC2 is formed of 10 companies advancing new technology to reduce emissions in cement and concrete: Biomason, Blue Planet Systems, Brimstone, CarbonBuilt, Chement, Fortera, Minus Materials, Queens Carbon, Sublime Systems, and Terra CO 2 . Member companies are all focussed on del...

The science of carbon removal and carbon sinks

21 July 2023, Published under Cement News

This week Brimstone announced that it had achieved third-party certification of its carbon-negative cement that meets the ASTM C150 standard. Low-carbon and green cements are continuously being developed as alternatives to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Decarbonising the cement and concrete sectors will need such innovation, but the science of carbon removal from cement and concrete and to what extent they can act as carbon sinks is still a debated subject. While carbon capture, utilis...

Brimstone carbon-negative cement meets ASTM standard

18 July 2023, Published under Cement News

US-based climate technology company Brimstone has gained third-party certification of its carbon-negative cement, which the company says marks the first carbon-neutral or carbon-negative cement to meet one of the most commonly-used standards in the construction industry - ASTM C150.  Instead of baking limestone, Brimstone has developed an alternative method for producing cement, starting with carbon-free silicate rock. Chemically extracting calcium oxide from silicate does not release C...

Brimstone cement certified as ASTM C150

14 July 2023, Published under Cement News

Brimstone, the US-based industrial decarbonisation start-up, has received third-party certification that its cement meets or exceeds ASTM C150 standards for ordinary Portland cement (OPC), becoming the first ultra-low carbon, carbon-neutral or carbon-negative cement to meet this critical and universally-accepted industry requirement. "At Brimstone, we believe decarbonising cement relies on three essential principles: producing the exact same trusted material, at much lower carbon, an...
