The yard
Casting of the first slab from the very low carbon cement and granulates of Anthropocite® from the waste treatment by Accelerated Fossilization.
The project was carried out in two parts, the first was cast in April (concrete of 5% of anthropocite) and the second in June 19 (concrete of 10% of anthropocite).
Granulat Anthropocite©
Mineral aggregates from the Accelerated Fossilization of Waste are called « Anthropocite© ». They can replace natural aggregates from quarries for non-structural concrete use, without technical or environmental risk.
In addition, they act as carbon sinks by preventing the degradation of biogenic materials contained in the site DIB. Anthropocite© has a negative carbon footprint, i.e. for one tonne of aggregates produced, 337 kg of equivalent CO2 is stored in aggregates. The production and use of these aggregates therefore have a positive effect on the environment.
Finally, the CSTB issued a Technical Evaluation of Products and Materials (ETPM) in order to prove the quality of non-structural concretes composed of 10% granulates of Anthropocite©.
This approval is the foundation proving the quality of the Anthropocite© and paving the way for new uses. Today, this material is used by professionals in non-structural concretes, the first essential step before the construction of structural concretes. Neolithe aims to extend the use of this new material to other types of concrete and to increasing percentages, with a short-term target of 30% substitution of traditional aggregates.
If tomorrow we were to deal with Fossilisation Accelerated all the waste emitted in France each year, we could reduce the French carbon footprint by 7% (all industries combined). This process is therefore in a position to change decarbonation in a very significant way.
