Modern society relies upon concrete for our built environment - it is the second most used material on Earth after water. However, concrete accounts for 8% of our annual carbon emissions. This is due to the energy intensive, carbon emitting manufacture of cement, the glue that binds aggregate and sand together in conventional concrete.BioZeroc is a biomaterials company that produces low-carbon concrete using bacteria. Our patented process uses this bacteria to bind aggregates and sand together into a material that performs as well as conventional concrete. This BioConcrete production process emits at least 85% less carbon, and has the potential to be carbon-negative once we incorporate waste materials into our bacterial feedstocks.We are here to decarbonise concrete. This is a key step on our route to scale.

现代社会依赖于我们的建筑环境混凝土-它是地球上仅次于水的第二大使用材料。然而，混凝土占我们每年碳排放量的8%。这是由于水泥的生产是能源密集型的，碳排放量很大。水泥是一种将骨料和沙子粘合在一起的胶水。BioZeroc是一家生物材料公司，使用细菌生产低碳混凝土。我们的专利工艺使用这种细菌将骨料和沙子粘合在一起，形成一种性能与传统混凝土一样好的材料。这种生物混凝土生产工艺的碳排放量至少减少85%，一旦我们将废弃物纳入我们的细菌原料中，就有可能实现碳负排放。我们在这里为混凝土脱碳。这是我们实现规模化的关键一步。
