Brimstone, a climate tech startup, received a $189 million grant from the DOE to develop a commercial-scale plant utilizing a new cement-making process. This method uses silicate rocks instead of traditional limestone, aiming to eliminate CO2 emissions associated with cement production, which contributes 8% of global emissions. Despite the DOE's decision to pull funding for several projects, including Brimstone, the company remains dedicated to building its plant independently. Finke emphasizes the need for their technology to be financially viable without government subsidies for lasting impact.
