Sublime Systems' cement receives ASTM C1157 designation, signaling a potential shift toward sustainability in the construction industry.
. These emissions are a result of the traditional process that uses fossil-fuel-fired kilns to break down limestone into lime. Sublime Systems, however, introduces an innovative electrochemical approach, bypassing the need for these kilns and functioning entirely on renewable electricity. Unlike existing 'net-zero' solutions that rely on carbon offsets, Sublime's process is 'true-zero', requiring no additional carbon capture infrastructure.
According to Leah Ellis, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of Sublime Systems, "Our aim is to make a profound and lasting impact on global CO2 emissions. The ASTM C1157 designation is a validation of our efforts to integrate low-carbon innovation into quality construction materials." She also stressed the need for performance-based standards, like ASTM C1157, that focus on solving key issues such as safety and carbon avoidance.
To earn this coveted designation, Sublime Systems underwent a series of tests conducted by a Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory-certified third party. Not only did Sublime Cemen meet the stringent ASTM C1157 General Use performance requirements, but it also exceeded many samples of Ordinary Portland Cement in terms of ultimate strength and durability. This suggests a longer life cycle for the final products, making Sublime's offering an attractive alternative for the industry.
Sublime's machine, known as an electrolyzer, has two main components. The first component extracts calcium from specific minerals, leaving behind another substance called silicate. The second component creates an environment where calcium turns into a solid substance known as lime. This lime and silicate are then mixed at low temperatures to produce the final product, sublime cement.
Sublime Systems is already in conversations with an extensive ecosystem of potential buyers, including ready-mix concrete suppliers, architects, engineers, and government agencies. With its first field pours planned for the last quarter of 2023 and its inaugural commercial plant set to be commissioned in 2025, the company is gearing up to make a seismic impact on sustainable construction globally.
