The ICT Challenge
- Improve on existing CO2 sequestration technology
- Maximize the performance and safety of CO2 injection, retention and mineralization
- Deliver superior concrete products for the construction industry and the environment
The ICT Solution
- SAFER – CO2 exposure minimized by patented carrying system
- SIMPLER – integrates directly with Ready-mix Concrete operations
- IMPROVED PERFORMANCE – superior CO2 injection retention rates; superior concrete performance improvements
- BETTER VALUE – cement reduction and mix optimization opportunities; minimal costs for installation and operation
- NEW REVENUE STREAM – Canada’s Federal GHG Offset System rewards projects with carbon credits, which can be sold to other industries
Exposure to CO2 is minimized or eliminated
- Automated, contact-free handling of contained CO2 reduces risk of exposure to volatilized CO2
- Patented CO2 carrying system mineralizes more CO2 in the Ready-mix Concrete drum
- Unique closed-loop delivery process encases CO2 to reduce fugitive carbon gas
Flexible, low-cost operation using captured CO2
- Batch-panel integrated with bulk supply
- Low-cost installation and operation
- Reduced capital investment
- High-volume option for ready-mix operations
