OUR PROPRIETARY BIOCHAR-MINERAL MATRIX

ACLA® is a free-flowing 'aggregate like' additive designed to stabilise carbon within a mineral structure, making it easy to integrate into manufacturing processes.

Easy to use.

  • The mineral-reinforced matrix provides superior consistency and durability compared to raw biochar.

  • Available in two sizes (0-2mm and 2-8mm) for total volumetric control and predictable product results.​​​

REMOVAL TECHNOLOGY

Our proprietary matrix, permanently sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

 

It locks carbon away through two distinct pathways: Biochar and Mineralisation

CO2 MINERALISATION

ACLA® absorbs carbon dioxide, converting it into a stable carbonate within the material matrix.

PERMANENT STORAGE

ACLA® acts as a physical carbon sink. Once sequestered, the carbon dioxide is prevented from returning to the atmosphere, remaining chemically bound for over a century.

MORE THAN JUST CARBON

THERMAL PROPERTIES

ACLA® has been proven to improve thermal properties of concrete.

POLLUTANT ABSORPTION

ACLA® effectively absorbs common water pollutants, including microplastics and phosphates, acting as a functional filter.

LIGHTWEIGHT

ACLA® is a lightweight aggregate offering transport and carbon savings compared to traditional heavier aggregates.

STACKABLE

ACLA® is the only solution that can deliver net zero asphalt, alone or alongside other carbon reduction solutions.

We sold out in 2025.
