Los Gatos, California, February 11, 2025 (newswire.com) –
The Blue Planet Systems Corporation announced today a successful placement of the world's first Net -Null carbon concrete plate with the industry standard Portland Cement Mix Designs in its Global Innovation Center in Pittsburg, California, in San Francisco Bay.
The conclusion of this placement is an important demonstration of the functional scale and performance of Blue Planet's synthetic aggregate technology and at the same time offers a tool for measuring its performance in a real environment.
This demonstration of a net -zero carbon concrete placement comprised 75% according to the volume replacement of standard aggregates with the synthetic limestone unit from Blue Planet. In the coming months, the company will pour demonstration pads with a higher replacement volumes and density of Blue Planet aggregate that provide groundbreaking CO2 negative concrete.
The concrete used exceeded the net zero goal of the concrete industry. The embodied carbon effect of the newly cast concrete was determined using the Carbonstar® calculator and the related CSA/Ansi R118: 24 standards and evaluated with a carbonstar score of minus 11 GWP (www.carbobaldarstandard.org). If you are used together, help to remove a great obstacle to check the carbon effects of decarbonization concrete by providing a quick, strict and standardized possibility of quantification and specification of carbon or carbon sequesting concrete.
Differences from other approaches of CO2 recording that imitate the patented technology of Blue Planet and Closed Loop processes imitate the low energy paths in nature. With 55 gigatonnes (GT) that were dismantled annually2 Due to the fair, the synthetic limestone aggregate of Blue Planet 24 GT could accelerate permanently from recorded CO2 Every year more than half of the 40+ GT corresponds to anthropogenic CO2 produced annually.
Brent Constantz, founder, CEO and chief scientist from Blue Planet, noted: “We are pleased to demonstrate this validation of scale and performance in our development process. Since we further scale the production volume and build up security into our supply chain.”
Frances Yang, Americas Circular Economy BeiD at Arup, added further. “We look forward to the day we can state Blue Planet Products. This innovative approach uses the considerable volume of aggregation in a typical concrete mix and offers significant potential for carbon reduction. In contrast to other technologies that concentrate on CO2 for binders or complementary cementary materials, we are excited about a technology that aims at the unit.“
The Global Innovation Center from Blue Planet, which has been in operation at San Francisco Bay since 2021, is currently being expanded with an existing strategic investor as part of a strategic development. The expansion will support the recording of over 5,000 tons of CO2 Convert every year and permanently in 11,000 tons of high -quality carbon -negate aggregates for use in Ultra low carbon and carbon -negative concrete mix design.

The Blue Planet Systems Corporation based in Silicon Valley is currently commercializing its proprietary natural -based carbon management technology. Use one of the most energy -efficient processes for capturing and sequester CO2Blue Planet produces coarse and fine limestone aggregates from prisoner Co.2 And slightly available waste flows. The mission of Blue Planet is to enable the mineralization of billions of tons of CO2 And store it permanently in the built environment as a limestone.
