PozGlass can also replace fly ash in concrete. Fly ash is a by-product of burning coal, and releases CO\n \n 2\n \n when heated.\n \n \n PozGlass offers further environmental benefits by capturing and permanently sequestering CO\n \n 2\n \n emitted by Progressive Planet's natural gas dryer. For the first time in 30 years of operation, Progressive Planet will sequester CO\n \n 2\n \n and convert it into sodium carbonate, a permanent carbon sequestration. Progressive Planet's legacy cat litter operations purchase sodium carbonate to create clumping cat litter, creating a circular economy within its own operations.\n \n \n \"The cement industry emits 8 percent of the world's carbon emissions, something industry leaders now want to reverse as they plan to become Net Zero by 2050,\" said Progressive Planet CEO,\n \n Steve Harpur\n \n . \"With PozGlass, a CleanTech breakthrough from our C-Quester™ Centre of Sustainable Innovation in\n \n Kamloops\n \n , we are producing one of many upcoming private-sector solutions that are neede...
