Let’s reinvent buildings, old and new.
The built environment’s climate impact ranges from the materials used for construction to how energy is managed decades down the line and everything in between—and that’s why we need innovations that revolutionize how buildings are planned, built, retrofitted, and managed.
Greentown Go Build brings together startups and corporates to accelerate the commercialization of technologies from building materials to building management systems, and more. How can you help build a decarbonized future?
Let’s Go.
Advancing CO₂-mineralization technologies for building materials
Go Build 2026 with Amazon and the Global CO₂ Initiative at the University of Michigan is accelerating collaborations with startups in the field of CO₂ utilization and valorization. Specifically, the program seeks to speed the development and implementation of advanced CO₂ mineralization and carbonation technologies to decarbonize the built environment—both within Amazon’s operations and the construction industry more broadly.
Participating Startups
- Carbon Infuse (Brooklyn, New York, U.S.) develops a novel CO2 mineralization technology that upcycles industrial waste and flue gas into cheaper, better, and cleaner materials for construction and manufacturing.
- Carbon Negative Solutions (Portland, Oregon, U.S.) converts any region’s industrial wastes and minerals into carbon-negative cement supplements (SCMs).
- Carbon To Stone (Tappan, New York, U.S.) converts industrial residues and CO₂ into low-carbon construction materials for cement and concrete production.
- Low Carbon Materials (Durham, United Kingdom) develops a proprietary range of carbon-sequestering aggregate-like additives for concrete and asphalt.
- Neocrete (Auckland, New Zealand) develops an additive that makes low-carbon materials (SCMs) behave like cement, reducing the carbon and cost of concrete while making it more durable.
Go Build Alumni
“There’s no better way to accelerate the growth of a company. There are a lot of things about building a company that aren’t straightforward, and to have Greentown understand and have mentors who have been through fundraising and know how to think about your product—it’s beyond measure, the value that provides.”
