Boosting BC’s Hydrogen and Construction Industries: The Use of Solid Carbon from Methane Pyrolysis in Green Concrete
THE SOLUTION
InnoCast is addressing the dual challenge of carbon sequestration during hydrogen production and reducing concrete’s high carbon footprint. By partially replacing traditional concrete constituents with carbon compounds and developing ultra-low embodied carbon concrete, InnoCast enables the permanent capture and storage of carbon compounds in concrete. This process allows for large-scale sequestration and offers value-added applications for potentially millions of tons of carbon by-products.
The CICE funded project aims to increase the carbon content in concrete without compromising its properties, lowering the GHG emissions associated with manufacturing drycast concrete hardscape products. This innovative approach supports the growth of hydrogen production and the decarbonization of sectors where hydrogen is being developed as a fuel source.

“This project is crucial as it directly addresses the dual challenge of finding sustainable applications for carbon compounds, a byproduct of clean hydrogen production and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from concrete. By integrating carbon compounds into concrete, we can significantly lower its carbon footprint and help Canada meet its ambitious climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement. The B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) is instrumental in this journey by providing essential support and funding that enables InnoCast to accelerate the development and commercialization of our green concrete. CICE’s support not only helps us scale our innovation but also positions B.C. and Canada as leaders in clean energy solutions and sustainable construction.”
