Kent firm scoops Shell's prize for technological innovation

摘要

Carbon8 Systems from Kent picked up the top prize at this year's Shell Springboard Awards, which reward the best small business ideas for combating climate change.rnThe winning idea turns everyday rubbish from landfill sites into building materials such as bricks or roofing. The company's accelerated-carbonation process captures the damaging gases emitted from landfill sites and uses them to turn waste into useful limestone or carbonates.
