Efficiency

Carbon Core Brick captures ~1 pound of CO2 per modular brick as CO2 is drawn into the brick's empty pore spaces and is converted into limestone. Carbon Core's rate of sequestration is ~10X more efficient than the forest carbon sequestration rate. 

​

Each brick with ~40 wt% olivine can sequester more than 600g of CO2, making it a net negative building material with a - 200 GWP. Incorporating carbon sequestering minerals into bricks has the potential to sequester nearly 1 Gigaton of CO2 each year.

 

1 Gigaton is a massive unit of measurement equal to 1 billion metric tons (1,000,000,000 tonnes), or the mass of 185 - 250 million elephants.
