Blue Planet's aggregates are created using carbon-sequestration technology, and we will be able to see how they perform at this industrial level. "As we scale our technology, we are going to be running our aggregate products through industrial-level crushing, screening, filtering and placement processes, each of which Knife River knows well. "Bringing Knife River's aggregate knowledge to our team will help us fully understand how our products will need to perform in the construction world, particularly as a component of concrete," Blue Planet Founder and CEO Brent Constantz said.
Barney, president and CEO of Knife River, has joined the five-member Board of Directors at Blue Planet. Knife River is the construction materials subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc. With Blue Planet's proprietary technology and Knife River providing expertise in construction aggregates, the companies are working together to develop construction-grade rock and ultimately concrete that would have a net-zero or net-negative carbon footprint – while maintaining the strength for which concrete is known. The limestone would be produced using sequestered carbon dioxide. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Knife River Corporation today announced it is investing in Blue Planet Systems Corporation to pursue a commercial means of creating and marketing synthetic limestone.
