Prometheus Materials Inc.

Prometheus Materials is developing a zero-carbon algae-based replacement for traditional cement and concrete construction materials.

Prometheus Materials Inc. has developed a zero-carbon alternative to traditional portland cement and concrete. Based on technology developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, this bio-enabled alternative material uses natural algae, sunlight, water and sand to create a replacement for traditional cement and concrete based building materials. After water, concrete is the second most used material on earth. Production of cement and concrete is responsible for generating 8% of annual CO2 emissions world-wide. 

Prometheus Materials is on a mission to eliminate 1 gigaton of CO2 emissions annually. The company recently opened its pilot production facility in Longmont CO where it will produce prototype zero-carbon construction materials. Prometheus Materials was co-founded in 2021 by cleantech entrepreneur and CEO Loren Burnett and four CU professors who are also the inventors of the technology. The technology was developed under a 5-year DoD grant. Prometheus Materials is collaborating with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), designer and architect of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, as well as One World Trade Center and many other prominent buildings throughout the world.
