How it works

Our unique process combines microalgae with natural binders to create a sustainable alternative to standard concrete.

Step 1

Step

Grow algae in open raceway ponds (ORP)

Step 2

Step

Facilitate the conversion of algae into biogenic limestone through biomineralization

Step 3

Step

Biomineralized algae dries in the sun

Step 4

Step

Biomineral for final product is ready

Step 5

Step

Add Proprietary binder system

Step 6

Step

ProZERO™ is READY to be supplemented into any mix design

Applied using standard industry practices

Step

Add sand, aggregate, & cement

Step

Yields Carbon Negative Concrete

To recap, here’s how the process works

Algae & Biomineral

Proprietary Binder System

ProZERO™ Carbon Negative Blend

Sand, Aggregate & OPC

Carbon Negative Flowable Fill

Answers to our most frequently asked questions

Where do you grow the algae?

We have strategic partners that are based in key growing climates to ensure efficiencies and effectiveness of the algae

Given the timeframe requirement for an EPD, we have a third-party LCA that demonstrates our GWP.

  1. We can achieve compressive strengths from flowable fill (150 PSI) up to 6000 PSI in both interior and exterior applications.  

  2. Due to the fact we are an SCM, you still have the same long-term performance you would expect from traditional cement and concrete

We have done pours in Colorado and Missouri (see case studies).  We continue to pour our ProZERO blend in many building sectors and we will share those updates frequently.
