“In the modern economy, we think that will be lower cost at scale.”
Finke: Brimstone's process can be carbon-negative even using dirty fuels
“The beauty of our process is that actually could be substantially lower carbon or even carbon negative under a wide range of energy sources, including the use of those dirtier fuels.”
Finke: Calcium silicate eliminates 60% of cement emissions immediately
“The calcium silicate rock, A, does not contain any CO two. So we eliminate 60% of the emissions just by using a different rock.”
Finke: Brimstone process yields magnesium waste that passively sequesters CO2
“It produces a magnesium-based waste product, and that magnesium-based waste product will passively sequester CO₂. Just sitting on the ground, it will react with CO₂ in the air to permanently sequester CO₂.”
