Queens Carbon

We are excited to announce that Queens Carbon has been awarded $14.5M grant in ARPA-E Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program. This provides funding for Queens Carbon to pilot our breakthrough technology with commercial partners in the cement industry. “We know that cement manufacturing requires innovative, scalable solutions to overcome the environmental impacts and logistical hurdles of traditional cement production. Queens Carbon is committed to tackling these challenges,” said ARPA-E Director Evelyn N. Wang. “Through SCALEUP, Queens Carbon will build on prior work funded by ARPA-E and develop an integrated pilot facility at an existing cement production site to produce carbon-neutral materials in support of decarbonizing cement production.” We are honored to be selected from a highly competitive pool of industry applicants to support the scaling of our breakthrough production process to lower the CO2 emissions of the cement industry. This is a big win for our leadership, our team, and our partners. A big thank you Rutgers University, Breakthrough Energy and to everyone who has helped us get here. Onwards and upwards!

Our CEO, Daniel Kopp, and COO, Dave Gersholowitz, were in London this week at the Breakthrough Energy Summit. They pitched investors, met with partners, and had a jolly good time 🧐. They were energized by speeches from Bill Gates, Rodi Guidero, Eric Toone, Brian Mayers, Nishant B. and inspired by some of the guest speakers including John Podesta and Mike Bloomberg. A big thank you to the amazing Breakthrough Energy Fellows team including Ashley Grosh, Benjamin Gaddy, Abigail Mathieson, Brenda Haendler, Rosemary Cox-Galhotra, Jolene Gurevich and Matt Purdy. Now they're coming back home. We have work to do! #BESummit24

What a whirlwind. We're still recovering from the the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association's 2024 CEO Gathering and Leaders Conference in Bangkok where we met amazing leaders, ministers, and experts. We were honored to be selected of the GCCA's annual #Innovandi Open Challenge, with this year's focus on new materials for low carbon concrete. Out of over 70+ companies that applied and 15 that were invited to pitch, we were one of four companies selected to form a consortium (our consortium includes Cementos Argos, Cemex, CRH, Heidelberg Materials, Holcim, TITAN Cement Group, and UltraTech Cement). Proud to be in great company with our friends at Chement, Neocrete, and EnviCore Inc. who also attended and formed their on consortiums. A special thank you to Devika Wattal for pulling everything together and making this such an impactful event. For our consortium, we are conducting technical feasibility for SCM production from a variety of industry standard feedstocks sourced from our global partners. We were excited to present our technology and initial results at the conference in Bangkok (check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dq9rXbvU ). Oh, and we also got to enjoy Bangkok - great food, friendly people and amazing sites!   Stay tuned for more updates soon 😉!

Queens Carbon is in Bangkok this week for the #GCCAConference2024! Over 200 industry CEOs and leaders from the world’s leading cement and concrete manufacturers are in Bangkok this week to focus on decarbonising our industry. #NetZero Join us for the GCCA Innovandi Open Challenge Demo Day this Thursday as we present our technology and progress!

Another great conference and another great pitch from Daniel Kopp! He joined Dave Gersholowitz, COO/CFO at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ARPA-E 2024 summit where they pitched investors as part of the Demo Day event.   Queens Carbon joined Breakthrough Energy Fellows companies RenewCO₂, Chement, Molten Industries, Verne, Unemit, Mars Materials, Electroflow Technologies, Olokun Minerals, Marathon Fusion, ChemFinity Technologies, Aikido Technologies and Aluminio Inc in representing exciting new industrial decarbonization technologies.   It was an incredible combination of investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs from around the country to advance climate tech. Looking forward to next year 😉!

Still reeling from a great couple of weeks. We started the month in Denver at the Portland Cement Association's IEEE-IAS PCA Cement Conference where we met with a great group of industry leaders and prospective partners in the cement industry. We then headed off to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Industry Growth Forum where we met with some amazing investors and incredible fellow startups. Daniel Kopp competed in the Pitch Competition and we were so grateful to win the Best Venture Award!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 Then last week we announced our partnership with leading cement companies as part of the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association's #Innovandi challenge where we're partnering with major industry players to develop technology to deliver on the GCCA's 2050 decarbonization targets. It's been exciting times here indeed. Next week we're headed off to ARPA-E summit so if you're in Dallas next week, let us know and we'd love to grab coffee or drinks and talk #green #cement and #concrete. Thank you again to all of our partners, stakeholders, investors, and employees for supporting our efforts and enabling us to get here. We look forward to many more 🏆 to come!

So excited to announce our partnership with leading cement companies as part of the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association's #Innovandi challenge. It's an amazing opportunity to partner with industry players to deliver on the GCCA's 2050 decarbonization targets. Queens Carbon is thrilled to advance innovations that are economically viable, scalable, and symbiotic with industry supply chains. Congrats to the other tech start-ups that were selected: Chement, EnviCore Inc. and Neocrete! We look forward to seeing everyone in Bangkok, Thailand at the GCCA Demo Day in June! #decarbonization #cement
