BioPetrify is a liquid agent that, once injected into the ground, reproduces and stimulates an organic mechanism based on the natural carbon mineralization process (bio-cementation). BioPetrify turns conventional, carbon-rich fertilizers for soils into a limestone stabilization agent that act as a binder of granular soils. The result of BioPetrify application is a strong, rock-like material produced out of typical soil to serve as a solid foundation. BioPetrify is the first soil bio-stabilisation solution able to combine in a single product offer: (i) high structural performance, (ii) long-term soil stability, (iii) cost-effectiveness, (iv) adaptability to different soils and construction works, (v) fast and easy implementation and compatibility with the most strict environmental regulations related to the quality of the groundwater and subsurface ecosystem.
BioPetrify’s vision is to earn a market share of 15%, currently dominated by cement-based and petroleum-based fluids which are used today for underground stabilization operations generating 104Mt of CO2 emissions per year. These are not the optimal solutions but the only ones that exists and Biopetrify’s goal is to fill the gap in the market by combining elements of technical innovation, economic efficiency and environmental responsibility.
