This sounds like an incredible project -- and very much needed. Road building is such a huge source of emissions.

What are the biggest objections that your customers tend to have?

How much is the use of lignin a factor, in terms of long-term scaling?

Thanks! We are very excited turning roads into a part of the climate solution. Road construction and refurbishment is a very conservative industry and unfortunately they often want to stick to the way they've done things before. But we're working on disrupting this leveraging YC, cool green climate tech and documentation from our long track record!

There are huge amounts of lignin in the world which is the base for our current binder. With our current producer volumes and without leveraging synthetic bio we can reach USD 2bn in yearly global revenue. If we were to leverage all the current lignin supply in the world we could Carbon Crush 1.5million miles of roads every year.
