FuCCI will use AI to guide deep decarbonization of cement and concrete

DOE’s IEDO has selected FuCCI to lead a 3-year project which will develop AI-based tools to guide the blending of alternative supplementary cementitious materials, aiming to deeply decarbonize cement and concrete. In this project, FuCCI will deeply collaborate with a large number of industrial partners for sample collection and technology-to-market transition. https://www.energy.gov/eere/iedo/funding-selections-fy24-energy-and-emissions-intensive-industries-foa#topic-4…

FuCCI is Starting Its First Federal Project on Hydrogen Production

Funded by ARPA-E’s Geologic Hydrogen program, FuCCI will start its first federal project on exploration of geologic hydrogen production, teaming up with MS&T’s Lightwave Technology Lab, GE, Shell, and Lawrence Livermore National Lab. This is a two-year exploratory project aiming to significantly accelerate the serpentinization of fayalite for hydrogen production. We look forward to scaling…

FuCCI will receive a $2.5M award to advance carbon-negative supplementary cementitious materials

The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management of DOE has selected a team consisting of Missouri S&T and Lawrence Livermore National Lab to advance a concept called “carbon-negative supplementary cementitious materials” developed at FuCCI. This $2.5M award includes $2M federal funding and $0.5M cost share from Missouri S&T and industrial partners. See DOE’s announcement…

FuCCI will work with SkyNano LLC to decarbonize concrete

Announced 6/15/2023, a team led by SkyNano LLC, joined by FuCCI, has been selected to receive up to $3.45M federal grant to convert CO2 in flue gases of cement kilns into solid carbon materials. The solid carbon materials will be engineered and used at high dosage to enhance concrete toward higher mechanical properties and longer…
