eLM Zero

eLM Zero is a biochar-based admix material that reduces the net CO2-footprint of concrete by up to 100% (and more) while ensuring optimal mechanical properties according to your specifications. Based on customized recipes, eLM Zero partially substitutes conventional inputs like cement and aggregates.

Using eLM Zero, concrete can be produced with a net zero CO2-footprint. This means that the amount of carbon sequestered and stored in the concrete (insetting ) is equal to the embodied carbon from virgin materials like cement and the operational carbon emitted during its manufacturing process.

Concrete containing eLM Zero can be recycled just like conventional concrete, making it suitable for further use without releasing carbon . The captured carbon will remain securely bound within the cement matrix for millennia.

Integration into existing processes at the factory is achieved through manual or silo dosing, similar to other additives or fillers in powder form.

eLM Zero is ideal for abating the CO2-footprint of various concrete products, including ready-mix concrete, precast, pavers, slabs, street furniture, stairs, roof tiles, wall panels, façades, and decorative elements. It can be easily mixed into concrete at the plant or construction site.

The material can be integrated into both manual and automated processes. For small-scale operations, manual integration using sack dosage is straightforward and efficient. For larger facilities, delivery and dosing via big bags or bulk methods are possible.
