SusMax awarded $1m for the national science foundation (NSF) SBIR Phase II

The National Science Foundation has awarded SusMaX $1M as part of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant program. This funding will enable us to further develop our technology for lightweight aggregate manufacturing from waste coal ash. We'll scale our manufacturing method from our recent batch pilot to a continuous tonnage scale. We'll demonstrate that our product at scale will not only meet but exceed all ASTM requirements for lightweight aggregate and subsequent lightweight concrete. We'll also conduct a deep Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for our product to showcase the potential for environmental impact reductions through our technology.
