Mighty Buildings, a construction technology company that is revolutionizing the construction industry by using 3D printing, advanced materials, and robotic automation to create beautiful, sustainable, and high-quality homes, has announced a formal partnership with Fortera, a materials technology company that has developed a new cement that reduces CO2 emissions by more than 60% for every ton of cement replaced.
This partnership will help advance Mighty Building's mission of addressing the housing availability crisis while becoming carbon neutral by 2028 - 22 years ahead of the construction industry.
Fortera is a Silicon Valley-based Materials Technology Company that has developed a new cementitious material that converts carbon dioxide into cement, reducing CO₂emissions by more than 60%. Traditional cement used for foundations contributes to a significant portion of the overall carbon footprint for a Mighty Buildings home. Finding cement alternatives that have a lower carbon footprint is an important step in reaching their carbon neutral goal.
This partnership is a direct result of Mighty Buildings' most recent $22M funding round to accelerate its carbon neutrality roadmap and further strategic supply chain partnerships
'We're constantly searching for new materials that will help us reach our goals, so we're thrilled to work with Fortera and this new carbon dioxide based cement." said Sam Ruben, Chief Sustainability Officer and Co-Founder of Mighty Buildings.
"With the engineering and construction of our production plant underway, we have been seeking strategic relationships with offtake partners whose mission and values align with ours, which is why Mighty Buildings is a great fit for us." said Dr. Gilliam, CEO and Co-Founder of Fortera. "By specifying our low CO₂cement for their builds, Mighty Buildings is reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to the overall goal of reducing global emissions." added Dr. Gilliam.
Finding new materials and creating novel manufacturing processes are part of how Mighty Buildings will meet its ambitious carbon neutrality goal. This partnership with Fortera is an example of how Mighty Buildings is working with suppliers to advance technologies and innovations for the entire home construction industry.
