Carbon removal is a hot topic in sustainability, with many companies involved in direct air capture. But now, a Dublin company is turning surplus concrete into a low-cost, carbon removal tool via a process called ‘enhanced weathering’.
Silicate is the first enhanced weathering company to leverage the massive carbon removal potential of surplus concrete. This is the first time concrete has ever been used in this way.
The company is the collective effort of Professor Frank McDermott, a low-temperature geochemist based at University College Dublin and the company’s science lead, and founder Maurice Bryson, a Master in Carbon finance graduate with extensive farming experience in Ireland and Australia.
