Queens Carbon

Queens Carbon is at the forefront of transforming the cement industry with a focus on sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. The company was founded as a result of pioneering research conducted at Rutgers University by co-founder Daniel Kopp, who developed a patented hydrothermal process that significantly lowers the energy requirements for cement production. This innovation has the potential to decrease emissions and costs, making it a pivotal technology for eco-friendly construction. With strategic backing from notable investors, including Clean Energy Ventures and Plug & Play Ventures, as well as substantial grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, Queens Carbon is advancing the development of the Q-System platform. This platform aims to produce carbon-neutral cement, setting a new standard in the industry. Queens Carbon's name pays homage both to its roots in innovation at Queens College (now Rutgers) and its mission grounded in economic growth and global environmental impact.
