SUMMERLIN, Nev., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CalPortland is pleased to announce that it has been selected to receive $4 million in funding for a decarbonization project that will mineralize CO2 from cement manufactured in recycled concrete and paste to manufacture low-carbon cementitious materials.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office recently announced $171 million for 49 projects that will reduce industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and move the nation closer to a net-zero economy. This funding is part of DOE's Technologies for Industrial Emissions Reduction Development Program (TIEReD), which leverages resources across the Department's applied research offices to invest in fundamental science, research, development, initial pilot-scale demonstration projects, and technical assistance and workforce development.
