Blue Planet Systems is using a $2.1 million grant from the California Energy Commission to demonstrate its carbon mineralization technology. The project focuses on creating carbon-negative concrete aggregates that replace traditional cement, reducing the heavy emissions associated with construction materials. The company claims its geomimetic process is more energy-efficient and cost-effective than standard carbon capture and storage methods. By sequestering CO2 directly into building materials, the project aims to permanently store thousands of tons of carbon annually within California's infrastructure.
