Prometheus is locking in their supply chain for the ProZERO tech. They signed a 10 year deal with Green Stream Algae for the raw materials needed to make low carbon cement.

The tech sounds promising, but I want to see the cost per ton compared to standard Portland cement. If the price premium is too high, builders will ignore it regardless of the carbon footprint.

That is where procurement rules come in. If government contracts start requiring a specific carbon intensity limit for concrete, the price premium becomes a secondary issue.

Ten years is a long commitment. Does GSA actually have the production capacity to scale with them, or is this just a paper agreement to attract investors? I would like to see the actual volume targets.
