# Carbon Negative Solutions

##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Mineralizing CO2 into industrial wastes to create carbon-negative supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), reducing the need for cement while remediating ground/air pollution at industrial sites.

[Industry](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/industry) [Cohort 25-2](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-25-2) [Low Carbon Industrial Materials](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/low-carbon-industrial-materials) [Industry - Cement](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/industry-cement)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

There is currently over five gigatons of industrial toxic waste that carbon mineralization companies struggle to convert into consistent, valuable products. High carbon capture costs and low cement replacement rates can limit the economic and climate benefits mineralization-based SCMs.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Carbon Negative Solutions enables heavy industry to monetize their “unusable” industrial waste, turning it into carbon-negative SCMs. Powered by machine-learning, their process converts industrial waste into consistent, repeatable SCMs that enable twice the typical cement replacement rate with no structural compromise. Their SCMs double both revenue and carbon reduction compared to traditional carbon mineralization end-products.
