OurCarbon® to be Applied in New Ways Through 4 Corners Grant

Bioforcetech is excited to announce that we have just received an exciting innovation grant to push research on OurCarbon’s use in the built environment into new areas! 

The 4 Corners Carbon Coalition, comprising Boulder County, City of Santa Fe, Salt Lake City Corporation, City of Flagstaff, and City of Albuquerque has chosen four innovative companies to advance the management of ‘liability biomass’ in ways that advance the fight to mitigate climate change.

City of Flagstaff Sustainability Director Nicole Antonopoulos puts it best when describing the impact our technology can have:

“This year’s focus on liability biomass has sparked some truly groundbreaking ideas. Who would have imagined the realm of possibilities for integrating carbon removal with core municipal services like wastewater treatment or landfill operations? The potential impact and scale of these innovations is immense.”

The $50,000 Catalytic Grant will initiate research and pilots using OurCarbon in asphalt and dry cast concrete to validate the management strategy for biosolids in the region. We will be working with Flagstaff producer Block-Lite to pilot dry cast concrete products and will then have them tested in Braun Intertec Corporation’s lab to validate durability. Braun Intertec will also be heading up testing of OurCarbon in asphalt.

Thank you to the 4CCC for this incredible opportunity to validate and expand OurCarbon’s use in new areas of the built environment. We can’t wait to get started.

Special thanks to Ramon DC Alatorre for organizing and managing the catalytic grant effort at 4 Corners. And congratulations to the other 3 winners; Carba, Inc., Gila WoodNet, and Wood Cache PBC!
