The start of the line will allow Solidia<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to increase its production capacity by 25 times, thereby allowing customers to qualify the material and conduct continual field trial pours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SCM is commonly added to concrete to replace a portion of portland cement. Solidia\u2019s high-performing, engineered Solidia SCM\u2122 mineralizes waste CO\u2082 and can replace 35% to 50% of portland cement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 18% to 28% while also improving the concrete\u2019s strength, durability, and workability. The pilot line is optimized to ensure consistent quality and high performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the dramatic increase in production capacity that the new pilot line brings, we are now shipping significant quantities of Solidia SCM to ready-mix concrete producers, transportation agencies, and contractors to qualify and trial our material,\u201d said Pradeep Ghosh, Solidia\u2019s Senior Director of Strategy and Business Development. \u201cThe lab testing and field trials these organizations will conduct will help ensure our material meets the highest performance requirements for infrastructure applications as well as the individual sustainability needs of each department.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with dramatic reductions in concrete\u2019s embodied carbon, Solidia SCM will help ready-mix concrete producers address looming shortages of traditional SCMs such as fly ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe commissioning of the pilot line is a critical milestone in the advancement and adoption of Solidia\u2019s decarbonization technologies, allowing for critical field testing with some of the country\u2019s biggest users of concrete,\u201d said Russell Hill, Ph.D., Solidia\u2019s CEO. \u201cIt\u2019s one more important step toward full production\u2014and toward tackling and remedying concrete\u2019s enormous carbon footprint.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidiatech.com\/?utm_source=pressrelease&amp;utm_medium=media&amp;utm_campaign=pilotline\">www.solidiatech.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New line increases production capacity of low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials to 1 ton per day.
