Biogenic carbon dioxide is captured from partnering biogas plants, then liquefied and transported to construction waste recycling sites. There, the carbon dioxide is injected into concrete granulates from demolished buildings or other mineral waste such as slag and slurry. Neustark’s technology triggers an accel
