About the Company
Solidia Technologies® is a cement and concrete technology company with award-winning, patented scientific systems that makes it easy and profitable to use CO₂ to create better building, construction and industrial products. Investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Bright Capital, BASF, BP, LafargeHolcim, Total Energy Ventures, Bill Joy and other private investors. Produced with a non-hydraulic, lower-energy and lower-emission chemistry, Solidia Cement™ is more sustainable than ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Solidia Concrete™ cures with CO₂ instead of water, sequestering CO₂ by injecting it into concrete during the manufacturing process. Solidia could be a substitute for any concrete application. Concrete manufactured with Solidia`s sustainable cement cures in one day. It is stronger, more durable, more flexible and costs less—using the same raw materials and equipment but less water, energy, and time throughout the supply chain. Currently in commercialization, Solidia`s technology is verified by leading independent industry laboratories. By transforming CO₂ into a usable element, it gives large- and small-scale concrete producers a competitive edge. When the reduced CO₂ emissions associated with Solidia Cement production are coupled with the ability of Solidia Concrete to sequester CO₂ during curing, the carbon footprint of the concrete products can reduced by up to 70%. The technology also reduces the consumption of fuel by up to 30% and water by up to 80%. By helping modernize the $1 trillion global concrete market and its supply chain sibling, the $300 billion global cement market, Solidia can help speed solutions to global population growth, rapid urbanization, infrastructure decline, water scarcity, and climate change.
