Silicate

Turning concrete into a climate solution. We harness the power of enhanced weathering to deliver permanent, verifiable and scalable carbon removal and storage.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

I have seen with my own eyes all too many war-torn regions: the suffering is simply too much.

It is the duty of each and every state to realise the rights and standards we have set ourselves.

The alternative to international rules is violence and despair.

This latest issue of #EthicalCorp includes a really interesting piece (pp.48-52) on enhanced weathering's carbon removal potential, which includes insight from Maurice Bryson, Founder & CEO,
@silicate_carbon, on the benefits of using unused concrete in the process.

#TBT the marvellous time that was the #2050Accelerator hosted by @dogpatchlabs

We've got so many exciting things in the 2050 Accelerator oven - more on those soon. Stay tuned ✌️

Had a really interesting chat with the founder of Silicate yesterday (enterprise/innovation marquee). Looking forward to learning more about this space and their work.

Three is a magic number?

For measuring carbon drawdown through enhanced weathering it is!

How can construction waste be used to remove 1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2030? Find out how #XPRIZECarbonRemoval team @Silicate_Carbon takes this waste product and turns it into a carbon removal vehicle in this short doc. https://t.co/RK2uy3jHeA

We are #hiring three senior scientists to join our new Dublin 🇮🇪 lab. Think there could be a match? Slide into our DMs, or follow the link below. We would love to hear from you 💘

Let's clear up the confusion around carbon mineralisation in the #carbonremoval space.

It's oftentimes talked about in one or another specific context but actually includes a wide range of activities, helpfully categorised by @WorldResources on the graph below.

It includes mineralisation underground (@CarbFix), mineralising CO2 in products like carbonated concrete (@CarbonCure Technologies) and enhanced rock weathering (@silicate_carbon).

These are very different technologies, but all fall under the broad carbon mineralisation headline.

@MEVorrath @geoengineering1 Danke @MEVorrath - we are on indeed the hunt for the best of the best geochemists! Job descs will be posted soon, but CVS can be sent to [email protected] 🙏

Dear #Enhancedweathering folks and #CDR people,
watch out for @silicate_carbon. They have a great attitude and draw down #CO2 by applying waste concrete on fields for #ERW. In this company scientists can finally apply their research.

Interesting article in https://t.co/kq5mKrzSbO on Dublin-based company @silicate_carbon (one of the cohort of the #2050Accelerator) about how they are converting surplus concrete into a low-cost #carbonremoval tool

The #Article6.4 Supervisory Body has launched another structured consultation on #carbonremoval activities.

Topics include:
• monitoring and reporting
• addressing reversals
• reversal risk tools: buffer pools, direct credit replacement, insurance/ guarantees
• treatment of uncancelled/unused buffer ERs

And questions range from general to very specific with outlined alternatives.

The consultation is open until 1 August.

This is yet another crucial step in the preparation of the draft "recommendations for activities involving #removals" - the key document to watch out for that will establish the foundation for removals under Article 6.4.

Public consultation:
