Concrete accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions and it's usage is set to skyrocket in the coming decades as the world's population grows and moves towards more urban environments. So removing carbon from the process is a crucial part of the climate mitigation challenge. And now, several start-up companies have stepped up to meet that challenge.

SNIPPET:

n June 2023, approximately 2,000 tonnes of graphene-enhanced cement will be produced at Breedon that will be marked for use in real world demonstrations. The cement’s performance as a binder in mortar and concrete systems will be analyzed to assess the performance improvement, prior to use in real-world demonstrations by Morgan Sindall Construction, a leading British construction and regeneration group.

Data from Breedon and FGR production sites has already been analyzed by the University of Manchester and found graphene-enhanced cement to both offset CO2 and demonstrate potential mechanical benefits, even at graphene loading levels less than 0.06%.

FGR has secured a one tonne order for a further trial in graphene enhanced concrete, anticipated to be executed within Q4 2023. This one-off order, although not material from a profitability point of view, is an important step in scaling up to meet the increased requirements of the cement and concrete segment, and continues to help build the Company’s pipeline of revenue opportunities.

In Q4 2022, First Graphene secured a circa $13,000 grant from Innovate UK’s Analysis for Innovators (A4i) competition to develop a technique to quickly identify graphene in a sample of concrete paste. This work was conducted with the UK’s National Physical Laboratory a worldleading centre of excellence that provides cutting-edge measurement techniques.
