Voorbij Prefab B.V. from Amsterdam is already using a CO2-reduced cement and has achieved CO2 savings from 180 to 115 kg CO2/m3 by increasing the use of blast furnace slag. Thanks to our collaboration, the footprint of the precast concrete elements has now been reduced even further: The use of Clim@Add® has resulted in a further 75 kg of CO2 savings per m3! This project illustrates how...
We have completed our first project for illwerke vkw AG, the largest energy supply company in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The 3 pillars of the new roof for the e-charging station in Bregenz were manufactured using Climate Concrete with Clim@Add® and formed and cast on site. The carbon sink permanently stored 340 kg of CO2. In addition, the addition of the additive...
Innovation project: BIOCHAR-LIFE-EU Project name: Demonstration of the production of plant-based biochar in the compost cycle and the development of high value-added biochar products Project objectives The project aims to demonstrate the production of plant-based biochar (in short: biochar) in the compost cycle and its development into high value-added biochar products. Biochar is produced using pyrolysis technology, which is the process of...
In Vorarlberg, the ring foundation of a new combined heat and power plant is being realized with Clim@Add®. The 36 m³ of concrete in the foundation permanently stores 1.37 tons of CO2. The ring-shaped foundation ensures that the weight of the components is evenly distributed over the subsoil. Our Clim@Add® ensures that the foundation also becomes a carbon sink and permanently removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Concrete parts >...
In its June issue (TB iNFO 95), TB iNFO devoted two double pages to concrete as a permanent carbon sink, including an interview with CarStorCon founder Axel Preuß. The article looks at the advantages of the innovative technology from all sides: The climate benefits, the additional benefits of the material for concrete materials and the use of existing infrastructure and the...
