Biocarbon in construction materials
Cement is the source of 8% of all global CO2 emissions. Therefore, decarbonisation efforts are urgently needed. Carbo Culture’s biochar is built to scale and allows for a secure and consistent supply of highly stable biochar. This makes Carbo Culture the ideal partner to supply biochar for the construction industry.
Using our biochar in construction applications can address two pressing needs at once. Firstly, sequestering carbon permanently. Secondly, reducing the carbon footprint of materials, such as cement, for climate-friendly concrete.
Green Industrial Materials
Many industries use materials with a high carbon footprint originating from the fossil fuel industry to produce essential products that our economy relies on today. These materials, such as cement or carbon black can be difficult to replace, due to their availability and properties. Carbo Culture’s Biographite® conductive carbon is a circular solution that can replace industrial materials that emit CO2 and store additional atmospheric carbon simultaneously.
Green Building Materials
The cement industry urgently needs decarbonisation efforts because it is the source of ~8% of all global CO2 emissions. Testing has demonstrated that at more than 10% loadings within the cement fraction, our Biographite® materials improve the mechanical properties of cement and concrete. Therefore, further enabling emission reductions. Secure a supply of our highly stable Biographite® product to sequester carbon and improve the sustainability of cement, for climate-friendly concrete!
Biocomposites
Many commonly used plastic and composite products are made out of carbon black and other synthetic materials that have a high carbon footprint. By using Biographite® carbon, the industry can reduce its reliance on fossil fuel-derived carbon black, lower carbon emissions, and promote circular economy practices.
Biographite® Carbons
Biographite® products are durable, consistent, and well-suited for industrial applications. Our patented CarbolysisTM process transforms waste biomass into a highly pure, conductive carbon with a low carbon footprint, thereby enabling a green transition from mined or other fossil-based carbons.
This unique biocarbon has many uses across a wide array of applications such as construction, energy storage, and biocomposites. Thanks to our unique production process, our Biographite® products are carbon-negative and naturally conductive carbon.
Benefits
Replace cement
Biographite® carbons can replace a variety of fossil materials while maintaining or improving the performance of the end product. Our Biographite® carbon can be used as a direct replacement of up to 10% of cement while maintaining the required compression and flexural strength.
