\nClimate tech startups team up to decarbonize Arizona concrete plant<\/br>

Local governments in the southwestern U.S. are putting up $150,000 to back what they say is a pioneering effort to \u201cturn air into concrete at scale.\u201d The funds will help cover the cost of the \u201creference project,\u201d a collaboration between two climate tech startups and a masonry firm in Flagstaff, Arizona.<\/p>\n

The firms expect construction to kick off later this year, when the two startups install their tech within Block-Lite<\/a>\u2018s existing facility. It\u2019ll work like this: Aircapture<\/a>\u00a0will suck carbon out of the air, and CarbonBuilt<\/a> will retrofit Block-Lite\u2019s curing chamber so the firm can use the CO2 to cure a lower-carbon recipe for concrete. CarbonBuilt\u2019s recipe uses less cement and integrates industrial waste that \u201cwould otherwise be diverted to landfills,\u201d such as fly ash<\/a>, the startup said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn essence, we\u2019re working with Aircapture to take CO2 gas from our atmosphere and then we turn it into a rock for permanent storage,\u201d CarbonBuilt said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The $150,000 award comes from the 4 Corners Carbon Coalition<\/a>, which took its name from the Southwest region of the U.S. The group counts four municipalities as members \u2014 Salt Lake City, Utah; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Boulder, Colorado; and Flagstaff, Arizona. In a statement to TechCrunch, CarbonBuilt CEO Rahul Shendure called the funds \u201ca great first step,\u201d but said the firms involved would also put funds and time into the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Efforts to reduce concrete\u2019s environmental toll are a crucial part of decarbonization. Concrete producers on the whole are responsible for roughly 7% of industrial carbon emissions, the International Energy Agency<\/a>, an intergovernmental group, estimated in 2018.<\/p>\n

Aside from installing solar arrays onto its facility, Block-Lite produces masonry products the traditional way today, emitting a ton of carbon dioxide via the curing process. Through the award, however, Block-Lite told TechCrunch that it will eventually start selling \u201cultra-low carbon blocks to customers in Flagstaff and surrounding areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The headline of this story was corrected on March 8 to reflect that Block-Lite\u2019s facility is a concrete plant, not a cement plant.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
