Neustark opens first carbon removal site in UK
Neustark’s technology captures CO₂ from biomass sites, liquefies it, then injects it into existing mineral waste streams such as demolished materials to be recycled and used in construction. This utilizes a process of mineralization that stores the CO₂ in the aggregate, permanently removing it from the atmosphere and creating carbonated, recycled building materials such as concrete.

In collaboration with its partner Aggregate Industries UK (part of the Holcim Group), has just launched its first-ever carbon removal site in the UK, making it the company’s 20th site globally, and one of the first commercially and ecologically viable solutions for permanent, onshore carbon removal in the country. The new site in Greenwich, London aims to extract up to 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere annually by transforming demolition concrete into a permanent carbon sink. This is the equivalent of the carbon sequestered by over 16,000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. As a leading supplier of materials and solutions to the construction industry, and a key player in the development of UK’s infrastructure, buildings and homes, Aggregate Industries will accelerate Neustark’s growth and provide high-quality, sustainable products to its customers.
