Sources: CarbonBuilt, Los Angeles; CP staff The University of California, Los Angeles Samueli School of Engineering-minted CarbonBuilt team has been named one of two winners in the NRG Cosia Carbon Xprize competition, its $7.5 million award recognizing technology that reduces the carbon footprint of concrete production by more than 50 percent. The team of faculty members, project scientists, graduate students and industry experts entered the 2015-2021 competition as Carbon Upcycling UCLA to prove CO2Concrete processes. CO2Concrete was rebranded earlier this year as CarbonBuilt, an independent entity aimed at commercializing Reversa, a concrete mix design and curing innovations platform. CarbonBuilt team member measures the temperature of a concrete block curing chamber drawing carbon dioxide-rich flue exhaust from a power plant at the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority Integrated Test Center near Gillette.
