World's First Carbon Negative Building Block

Jun-07-13 The Carbon Buster is the first actual carbon negative building block, able to capture more carbon dioxide than was emitted while it was being manufactured.

The block, developed by Lignacite, Ltd. in partnership with Carbon8 Aggregates, is made up of more than 50 percent recycled material. One type of material, the Carbon8 pellets, is made by combining CO2 from waste to energy plants, sand, cement and water.

The block has been approved as a Category 1 building material, and can be used in the construction of fire breaks or internal walls. It also has a high level of sound absorption, and could be used as sound insulation between rooms or buildings.
