Zero-Carbon Bio-Cement & Bio-Concrete
About us
Prometheus Materials provides sustainable building materials that accelerate the world’s transition to a carbon-negative future. Inspired by biological processes found in nature, the company's process uses microalgae to produce a bio-cement that offers an alternative to carbon-intensive portland cement. When mixed with aggregate, this bio-cement forms an ultra low-carbon bio-concrete with mechanical, physical and thermal properties that rival those of portland cement-based concrete. Learn more about how the company enables the decarbonization of the construction industry at prometheusmaterials.com.

We thank Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) for their invaluable partnership – and Fast Company for this meaningful recognition. Through our precast product line, #biocement ready-mix, flowable-fill solution and upcoming licensing model, our ProZero™ #zerocarbon bio-cement and bio-concrete can ultimately reduce CO2 emissions by a gigaton or more per year.
Fast Company has named our bio-cement we developed with Prometheus Materials as the winner in the materials category of its 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards! The program honors businesses and organizations developing creative solutions to the most pressing issues of our time. "SOM and Prometheus have a lofty goal in mind: to remove one gigaton of CO2 per year by convincing as many industry players as possible to switch to their bio-cement," writes Elissaveta Brandon for Fast Company. The Bio-Block Spiral, a curved installation developed by SOM and Prometheus Materials, invited the public to experience and interact with the new zero-carbon building material firsthand at the Chicago Architecture Biennial last fall. The material offers a sustainable, algae-based alternative to traditional concrete and, if deployed at scale, could reduce global CO2 emissions by up to 8 percent. In Fast Company's article, SOM Partner Scott Duncan and Prometheus Materials CEO Loren Burnett discuss material innovation and its potential global impact. Read on for more about the award-winning innovation and have a peek at the science behind the block below. MORE → bit.ly/3K4nj8c #FCWorldChangingIdeas

Prometheus Materials is honored to be exhibiting at the Buildings and Climate Global Forum in Paris, March 7 & 8. 🇫🇷 Co-organized by France and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), with the support of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), the Forum aims to gather ministers and high-level representatives of key organizations, for the first time, to initiate a new impetus in international collaboration for building #decarbonization and resilience after #COP28. We look forward to sharing how our initial precast line of ProZero™ zero-carbon #biocement and #bioconcrete products – which includes masonry units, acoustic panels, segmented modular blocks, paving stones and grass pavers - span an ever-evolving array of applications, and provide both sustainable production and superior performance in a single solution.
