Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. announced the commencing of low-carbon cement field trials and Ag-Tech plant construction. Commencing Field Trials Earlier this month, PLAN received and commissioned a custom-designed batch ball mill ordered in January 2022. In the past, PLAN could only produce lab scale quantities of 100 grams per day.

The new mill allows PLAN to produce 500kg of material per day, which is ample quantity for field trials in both the cement and agriculture industries. Immediately upon receiving this mill, PLAN produced and dropped off 500kg of PozGlass(TM) SCM, PozDE(TM) SCM, and PozZeo(TM) SCM samples requested by three companies in Calgary. PozZeo SCM is a zeolite-based SCM designed for the magnesium cement industry.

Early Field Trial ResultsZS2 Technologies Inc. ("ZS2"), one of the three companies provided samples, shared 7-day test results for a 33 weight- percent incorporation of PozGlass SCM and PozZeo SCM samples into their magnesium-based cement showing more than twice the required structural capacity of Portland cement.
