For the past ten years, Biomason has developed ways of growing concrete bricks using microbes.
In simple terms, all concrete is made by mixing water, crushed rocks, and a binding agent called cement. Producing cement is where the current climate agony comes from. That gray powder alone costs us four times more CO2 per year than all air travel combined. Biomason’s solution for making bio-inspired cement “cures the disease rather than the symptoms,” explains Krieg Dosier.
Those oceanic microbes — like many still alive today — had the ability to stitch together strong inorganic materials from simple elements around them. This amazing natural process, called biomineralization, is the beating heart of Biomason’s technology.headquarters in Research Triangle Park, NC.Some of the first bricks ever made by Biomason were installed in 2015 as test patios in San Francisco.
