KIC 2007 - CARBON8 TAKES AWARD
Carbon8 Systems Ltd, a Medway Enterprise Hub portfolio company and spin-out from the University of Greenwich, has scooped the prestigious Kent Innovation Challenge 2007 award.
Carbon8 Systems uses accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) to treat hazardous wastes and remediate contaminated soil. The process produces inert secondary aggregates, which can be used in construction and engineering projects. And significant quantities of waste carbon dioxide, the key greenhouse gas, are locked into the new material.
Carbon8 Systems has been developed by Dr Paula Carey and Dr Colin Hills, of the University of Greenwich at Medway, in collaboration with Professor Stefaan Simons, of University College London. Click here to visit Carbon8's website.
