EnviCore
ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:
Repurposing waste minerals into cementitious materials to replace cement by up to 30% and reduce associated CO2 emissions by 85%.
PROBLEM FOCUS
Continued mining and construction operations have resulted in a significant accumulation of waste minerals, with no sustainable repurposing solutions available. Simultaneously, the construction industry is grappling with the rising CO2 footprint from cement production, with the global cement industry emitting approximately 7% of global CO2 emissions.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
EnviCore uses waste minerals to create low-carbon cementitious materials, allowing for the replacement of up to 30% of traditional cement in concrete mixes. This patent-pending process achieves competitive cost and significantly reduces emissions, with EnviCore's material being 85% less emission-intensive than Portland cement.
