-
Global CO2 emissions are at their highest point in history, and Asia tops the list.
-
Construction accounts for 38% of CO2 emissions and 9% alone are from cement.
-
Carbon-negative building materials absorb carbon from our atmosphere making it healthier to breathe.
-
One home sized at only 116 sq.m. that is made with cement emits 70 tons of CO2.
-
The same home with ZIQUR’s carbon-negative materials will absorb 22.5 tons of CO2.
-
There are many government incentives and tax advantages provided to Carbon-Negative projects.
-
The cost is lower than normal building materials as ZIQUR’s utilize waste products.
-
ZIQUR will be the top choice for bids on many countries’ government development projects.
-
Other developers will contract ZIQUR to build their projects or buy building materials.
Asia's First Carbon-Negative Developer
Why a Carbon-Negative Developer?
“Being able to improve the local pollution levels by reducing CO2, making it healthier for my three young boys, is all the incentive I need to dedicate myself to making carbon-negative development in Asia a reality” – Dan Simmons
ZIQUR Development’s Objectives
Company
Create a carbon-negative development and construction company in Southeast Asia that is funded by ZIQUR’s crowdfunding investment model.
Projects
Develop residential, commercial and hospitality properties for sale and investment, as well as build properties for governments and other property developers.
Technology
The carbon-negative building materials’ technology will be licensed from large, successful, low-cost companies with internationally renowned experience in their field.
Exclusivity
The technology will be licensed with entire country exclusivity to ensure competitors must purchase these carbon-negative products directly from ZIQUR only.
Factory
Build a factory to produce the carbon-negative materials including concrete, precast building blocks, structural components, walls, and roofing.
Greenhouse
Develop a greenhouse with processing plant for growing mycelium used for insulation, building materials and property decor.
Profitable
Utilize the carbon-negative materials within ZIQUR property developments as well as sell the materials to other property developers, wholesalers and retailers on the open market.
Dependency
Lessen or completely remove reliance on construction loans due to the investments from the crowdfunding customers.
ZIQUR Building Materials
ZIQUR will develop Carbon-Negative building material utilizing similar technologies from some of the following companies and may license patented technology where required and cost-effective. Partanna is the preferred choice for brick and cement replacement, as it not only utilizes waste products in the creation of materials, which reduces costs, but also continues to remove carbon on an ongoing basis. There are many companies producing mycelium products, that both absorb carbon and are excellent when utilized as insulation that is fire-resistant, and the technology is readily available. Greensulate’s projects will be researched mainly for creative ideas to utilize within the developments and do not necessarily require partnering with or licensing.
– Building materials that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
– Cement for foundations and precast concrete that is carbon-negative.
– Cement-free precast concrete that is carbon-negative.
– Insulation and building materials from mycelium that are nearly fire-proof.
– Green solutions for carbon reduction environments.
About
- Produced with minimal carbon emissions, Partanna is a building material that removes carbon from the atmosphere.
- Partanna is building the world’s first carbon negative housing community in the Bahamas.
- Recycled sea brine from desalinization plants and recycled steel waste are the main components required to produce their materials.
- The materials are easily sourced locally in Asia and are cost-effective, creating affordable housing that is healthy.
- Single panel construction creates efficiencies in the building process, which is done at room temperature avoiding the need for air conditioning or particle emissions.
- Partanna buildings can withstand hurricane force winds that destroy traditional constructed properties.
- As Partanna is made with brine, it gets stronger through exposure to saltwater.

About
- Cement and concrete technology company located in New Jersey, USA, offering patented solutions that are easier and more profitable than standard products.
- Products include foundations and precast concrete materials that cure in 24 hours.
- Utilizes CO2 instead of water in precast concrete to create superior, sustainable building materials.
- By curing concrete with CO2 instead of water they are permanently and safely consuming 240 kg of CO2 and potentially saving 3 trillion liters of fresh water every year.
- Solidia concrete utilizes and consumes CO2, permanently turning it into calcium carbonate and silica.
- Solidia cement reduces CO2 emissions, requires less energy, makes cement with less raw materials, and is whiter than standard cement.
- Up to 100% of fresh water used during concrete manufacturing can be recovered.

About
- CarbiCrete offers manufacturers the process, materials and support to produce high-quality precast concrete at a lower-cost, and in a way that reduces their carbon footprint.
- The steps in CarbiCrete’s process are the same as those of conventional concrete making except cement is replaced with steel slag, which is mixed with the other materials using standard equipment.
- The patented curing process involves CO2 injection where it reacts with the steel slag, the CO2 is permanently captured and converted into stable calcium carbonates to form a dense structure.
- Offers 10-20% lower material costs, 24-hour curing, 30% higher compressive strength, 3 kg CO2 removed per CMU, and block formation using standard equipment.
- CarbiCrete manages the installation and integration of the CO2 absorption chamber as well the CO2 tank that is stored onsite.
- They source CO2 from industrial gas suppliers who collect and purify the gas from industrial emitters.
- Steel slag is sourced by CarbiCrete through a global supply agreement with Harsco.

About
- Biohm is a multi-award-winning research and development led, biomanufacturing company located in London, UK, creating a healthier, more sustainable, built-environment.
- Harnesses the power of mycelium, the vegetative filament root structure of mushrooms, to grow materials using organic and synthetic substrates that are the by-products or ‘wastes’ of other industries.
- They have produced a mycelium insulation panel that is the world’s first accredited mycelium insulation product.
- Mycelium not only outperforms petrochemical/plastic-based construction materials in thermal and acoustic insulation but, as a natural material, it is also safer and healthier.
- The manufacturing process is carbon-negative, sequestering at least 16 tons of carbon per month.
- Biohm’s mycelium insulation is breathable, wicks moisture and contains negligible amounts of VOCs achieving an A+ rating.
- Also converts one of the world’s fastest growing waste streams, food waste, into valuable and functional materials that are formed into sheets or molded to create intricate three-dimensional decor products.
- Sourced waste by-products from food production or agricultural sectors are processed into a homogenous filler which is bound together with completely organic binder to form an affordable and sustainable replacement for wood-based sheet materials.

Cost Myths
Carbon-Negative Development does NOT cost more money. As a matter of fact, the cost is actually less when utilizing waste products such as brine and steel slag. Everyone in the real estate industry knows that there are huge profits in property development. So why not build properties that absorb carbon to make this world a better place while making higher profits? It just makes sense to support ZIQUR.
