Vateris
Vateris (formerly Concrete4Change) is a pioneering UK based company; engineering performance minerals from CO2 – simply and at scale.
Our award winning, breakthrough platform converts industrial CO₂ and calcium-rich inputs into advanced materials that deliver best-in-class performance, at better cost and reduced carbon intensity. No disruption to existing operations and conforming with global industrial standards.
At the core is our GypCarb product – a drop-in carbon-negative vaterite calcium carbonate mineral for cement and concrete systems, delivering better strength, durability and reduced carbon intensity.
High purity SOP fertiliser is also produced in the process, providing market leading performance in precision agriculture. Powder and water soluble grades of SOP are available.
Your IFA Innovation Platform Profile
What collaboration are we looking for?
We are currently looking for collaboration in four areas:
1 – Offtake agreements for water soluble/powder grade SOP from our production
2 – As a solution provider to absorb (utilize) waste CO2 gas streams
3 – As a consumer of gypsum
4 – Potential partners interested in investing in our company
What solutions and opportunities are we offering?
We can provide the following to partners:
1 – A reliable supply of high purity potassium sulphate (SOP) either as a powder grade for compound NPK production or as a water soluble grade for direct distribution or for the manufacture of water-soluble and liquid NPK’s
2 – Our unique production process can use (absorb) CO2 gas directly from a partner’s plant helping to dramatically reduce the carbon footprint
3 – Our process also uses gypsum, a common by-product (provided it meets our production and process specifications)
4 – To invest in a young dynamic start-up that will produce two value-added products (SOP and GypCarb) for two industries facing the challenge of carbon footprint reduction (agriculture and construction)
