Modern society relies upon concrete for our built environment - it is the second most used material on Earth after water. However, concrete accounts for 8% of our annual carbon emissions. This is due to the energy intensive, carbon emitting manufacture of cement, the glue that binds aggregate and sand together in conventional concrete. BioZeroc is a biomaterials company that produces low-carbon concrete using bacteria. Our patented process uses this bacteria to bind aggregates and sand together into a material that performs as well as conventional concrete. This BioConcrete production process emits at least 85% less carbon, and has the potential to be carbon-negative once we incorporate waste materials into our bacterial feedstocks. We are here to decarbonise concrete. This is a key step on our route to scale.

BioZeroc is a biomaterial science company with a mission to provide access to low-cost, carbon-neutral construction materials to the global market. Our technology uses biotechnology to make concrete without the need for cement -- removing one of the world's biggest single sources of carbon emissions. This project will characterise BioZeroc's underlying process with a range of candidate circular reagents and from these select the most compatible from technical, sustainability and commercial perspectives. We will then explore the variability of combinations of the selected circular reagents to create a circular, low-cost, zero-carbon BioConcrete bricks.

This project will expand BioZeroc's underlying process, create test samples for independent strength testing, and produce a product prototype in the form of a BioConcrete block with comparable strength to existing concrete blocks.
