Colorado School of Mines faculty launch carbon-negative concrete startup ZeroTwelve
Original: ZeroTwelve: Mines faculty startup for carbon-negative biochar concrete
ZeroTwelve, a startup founded by Colorado School of Mines faculty, is developing biochar-based concrete that removes more carbon dioxide than it emits. By locking plant-derived biochar into building material, the company aims to cut construction emissions while turning concrete into a carbon sink. It has drawn attention as an example of university research moving into climate-focused commercial ventures.
Why now: Interest in decarbonising construction has put carbon-negative building materials like biochar concrete in the spotlight.
