Green Minerals, established in 2011 by physicist Pol Knops, leverages mineralization technology to address CO2 emissions innovatively. The company uses olivine, a rock-forming mineral, to bind CO2 and produce valuable materials such as magnesite and amorphous silica. These products are applied in diverse industries, including construction (concrete), manufacturing (paper), and sustainable materials (biobased polymers). This process not only sequesters CO2 but also promotes a circular manufacturing approach, reducing carbon footprints while creating functional products. Collaborating with institutions like KU Leuven and Brightlands Innovation Factory, Green Minerals integrates CO2 capture directly into manufacturing processes. The company has developed prototypes such as CO2-negative paper and fillers for polymers and concrete, showcasing the potential for sustainable innovation. Through partnerships with firms like HeidelbergCement and SCW Systems, Green Minerals continues to advance applications of its technology, demonstrating its commitment to a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
