Linde and Solidia in CO2 deal

Solidia Technologies® has signed a partnership agreement with The Linde Group to industrialise an innovative technology that could reduce the environmental footprint of pre-cast concrete while reducing production costs and improving the performance of building materials.

The collaboration will include the development, demonstration and commercialisation of Solidia’s CO2-based concrete curing technology.

A global leader in the international gases market and engineering, Linde will work with Solidia to demonstrate the feasibility of commercial-scale production. “Linde will bring CO2 supply and delivery expertise including engineering of application-specific equipment to contribute to this joint development. This project marks an important step in proving and enhancing our CO2 management capabilities,” said Dr. Andreas Opfermann, Head of Clean Energy and Innovation Management at Linde. The two companies will also collaborate to market the technology as a new solution for the pre-cast sector.

Cement production is responsible for 3-5% of total global carbon emissions, and global demand for concrete products is second only to the demand for water. Cement manufacturers have committed to reducing their carbon footprint but are often constrained by their assets and chemistry. By helping develop a means of transforming CO2 into a valuable commodity for one of the world’s largest industries, the collaboration will help speed the market and social impact, recategorising CO2 as a catalyst for profitability and growth.
