Excited to share that Queens Carbon and Buzzi Unicem USA are partnering to pilot low-carbon cement technology. Together, we plan to build a 2,000-ton-per-year demonstration facility at our Stockertown plant in Pennsylvania. This project will test and showcase cost-effective, carbon-neutral supplementary cementitious material (SCM) production at pre-industrial scale.
🌍 The future of cement is here — and it’s carbon-neutral, cost-competitive, and built in America.⚡ Queens Carbon has closed a $10M Seed Round to revolutionize how the world manufactures cement. This round was led by Clean Energy Ventures, with participation from Plug and Play Tech Center, Clean Energy Venture Group, and strategic partner Buzzi Unicem USA. 💥 Why it matters: #Cement is the most used man-made material on Earth — and one of the most carbon-intensive. To meet global demand in a sustainable way, we need a better way to build. At Queens Carbon, we’ve developed a #breakthrough process, rooted in novel hydrothermal chemistry, that lowers the energy required to make cement — delivering ASTM-compliant, carbon-neutral products without the green premium. 🚀 What’s next: ✅ Build our 2,000 ton-per-year pilot facility ✅ Grow our world-class team ✅ Accelerate toward a 300,000 ton-per-year FOAK commercial plant We’re proud to lead the charge in reshoring industrial innovation, powering the energy transition, and helping cement producers decarbonize at scale — all while improving industry economics! Huge thanks to our investors, our strategic partners, and the whole Queens Carbon team. Let’s keep building the #FutureofCement — cleaner, smarter, faster. 🛠️⚡ #cement #concrete #sustainability #builtenevironment #decarbonization #manufacturing #infrastructure #cleanenergy #industrialinnovation #startupfunding #nogreenpremium This brings our total funding to over $30M, including: 🔹 $14.5M from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) 🔹 Catalytic capital from Breakthrough Energy Fellows and CapeSilver Climate Investments More here: https://lnkd.in/e7SgjDGw
