Terra CO2 Technology

Happy New Year from Terra! What are we predicting for 2024? Nothing short of the #NextIndustrialRevolution based on the need for #decarbonization! Catch this exciting quote from our CEO and industry thought leader Bill Yearsley, who has 40+ years of industry experience in construction materials! #soundOn #jointherevolution #climatechangeaction

Michele Blackburn and Deepak Ravikumar were invited to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory #Cement and #Concrete #Decarbonization Event with other industry people passionate about innovation. Michele will also participate on the panel “From Proof of Concept to Commercial Reality” with other start up experts!

In unveiling our full market report last week, we set forth a path toward green construction that goes beyond the incentives and hype surrounding low carbon alternatives for cement replacement in concrete. Though materials like cement are central to the construction of the world around us, the need for sustainable alternatives has and continues to grow. To grasp the vitality and full potential of green construction materials, it is imperative we look beyond industry incentives and examine how characteristics, such as cost-effectiveness and performance superiority, position these materials to transcend traditional materials and address the larger environmental, economic, and societal challenges tethered to them. To learn more, check out the first section of our market report, "How Can Green Construction Materials Compete Without Relying on Incentives?" #greenconstruction #sustainabilityinconstruction

At Terra, we believe that affordable, consistent, high-quality, and more sustainable concrete will come from true innovations in materials and technology and not from incremental improvements to the existing cement supply chain. Over the past year, we've spoken with experts, conducted research, and taken a deep dive into what it’s going to take to unlock true construction decarbonization and disrupt the carbon footprint of cement. From policy to technology and process, we believe deeply in the responsibility and opportunity of this industry to make a remarkable change for the world at large. We're excited to share a full report on these topics and even more excited to start the conversation. #cementforhuamnity #zerowasteconstruction #greencement #netzero #greenbuilding 

Our CEO, Bill Yearsley was recently quoted in Chemical and Engineering News about his take on the Supreme Court decision overturning the Chevron deference and its impact on innovation and climate change. Quote and full story linked below. "The demise of the Chevron doctrine will hinder US response to climate change and the country’s transition to cleaner energy sources, says Bill Yearsley, CEO of the sustainable cement maker Terra CO2. “We need to act fast and we need to act now. Overturning the Chevron doctrine will undoubtedly slow the pace of regulatory change and the adoption of technologies hinged on renewable energy,” Yearsley says. “This will likely take shape in the form of slowing down the introduction of new emission reduction standards and delaying the enforcement of existing ones.” At Terra CO2, we remain committed to advancing sustainability and innovation in our industry. Let's continue to advocate for policies that accelerate the transition to a cleaner energy future. Together, we can make a significant impact in combating climate change. #ChevronDoctrine #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #EnvironmentalLeadership #RegulatoryChange https://lnkd.in/gnYtEVhV

Our CEO, Bill Yearsley, joined over 1,500 industry leaders at #BESummit2024 to propel us forward on the path to net zero. Between insightful presentations, perspectives from Bill Gates, and introductions to cutting-edge innovations, the BE Summit was a tremendous success. Terra CO2 is proud to be a part of the vital efforts to accelerate climate solutions and ensure global access to affordable, abundant, and clean energy. Below, you can find some of Bill Yearsley’s major takeaways from the BE Summit:   ●       Carbon Capture “CC” (CCS/CCUS): A trending topic at the Summit, CC at industrial scale sparked debate. While some companies are pursuing heavily subsidized CC projects, others deem this technology ineffective and too costly at scale. At Terra CO2, our focus is AVOIDING most CO2 emissions at their source; by using feedstocks that do not have embodied carbon. Our Cement for Humanity™ is a true climate solution aimed at the heart of the problem. ●       Cost Parity for New Technologies: Achieving cost parity was a key focus at the Breakthrough Energy Summit. At Terra, while developing our products, OPUS SCM™ and OPUS ZERO™, we were unwavering in prioritizing cost competitiveness from day one, establishing cost guardrails early in our R&D. Ensuring our solutions are economically viable without extensive further development is non-negotiable on the path to net zero. As emphasized by Bill Gates and other speakers, a central component of new and emerging technology’s commercial viability is to deliver cost competitive solutions not dependent on green or government incentives. ●       Middle Gap Capital Solutions: At any stage, securing funding is no small feat, especially when companies find themselves in the “middle gap”, funding for first-of-a-kind plant deployment. Securing funding between the early and late stages remains a challenge. Although the Summit offered a few concrete solutions, this remains a largely underserved asset class for capital.    Conferences like the BE Summit just begin to scratch the surface of the vital conversations that lie at the foundation of our collective mission to reach net zero. The conversations initiated here must continue, even after the venue doors close. As we look forward to the next Summit, we encourage you to share your thoughts and join the discussion!   #BESummit24 #netzero #cementforhumanity 

Proud to note our CEO Bill Yearsley and CSO Donald "D.J." Lake are at the #BESummit24 in London RIGHT NOW! This week BE published the article (linked in the comments) "What will it take to decarbonize cement" where Terra CO2 Technology is notably mentioned. Thank you for the continued support Breakthrough Energy - we are in total alignment with helping lead the global Decarbonization Mission!
