OUR MISSION
TO TRANSFORM CAPTURED COâ‚‚ INTO DURABLE, HIGH-STRENGTH BIO-CONCRETE.
We need new, cost effective methods of carbon storage to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Cement and concrete are responsible for 8% of global COâ‚‚ emissions — nearly twice that of aviation.
Ureaka integrates biocementation with proven carbon capture methods, transforming concrete from an environmental challenge into a valuable asset.​

revolutionary technology
Partnering with precast industries, Ureaka’s platform transforms captured COâ‚‚ into durable, carbon-negative building materials – A PERMANENT STORAGE ROUTE FOR INDUSTRIAL CARBON.

Performance Metrics
1. HIGH STRENGTH AT A COMPETITIVE PRICE ​
Tested to withstand over 3,500 psi (~24 N/mm²) of compressive force which meets numerous ASTM standards for both structural and non-structural applications. Higher strengths will be achieved through continued development.
2. ​​ACTIVE CARBON SEQUESTRATION
Each ton of bio-concrete stores up to ~117 kg of COâ‚‚, confirmed by rigorous laboratory testing including acid dissolution and X-ray computed tomography.
​
3. LIGHTWEIGHT
Up to 30% lighter than conventional concrete for easier handling and transportation.
4. ​AFFORDABLE SUSTAINABILITY
Each facing brick costs just £0.20 – £0.30 to produce, making Ureaka bioconcrete cost-competitive with conventional options.​
