Our technology uses biotechnology to make concrete without the need for cement -- removing one of the world's biggest single sources of carbon emissions. 

This project will expand BioZeroc's underlying process, create test samples for independent strength testing, and produce a product prototype in the form of a BioConcrete block with comparable strength to existing concrete blocks.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
