Thanks! 1. We are entering the product testing stage with our cement producing parnters in the next few months, so I'll have a better answer for you then. But from a chemical composition point of view, our product is purer than mined limestone and so should perform better. 2. Biggest bottleneck from our perspective is nailing planning permission to build our plants quickly enough to supply cement producers.

Unfortunately no blog post or anything like that just yet. Website is very light on details for now, we haven't prioritised updating (+ some patent considerations).

How do you get permission to mine seawater? Its kinda of a weird question and I imagine its very country dependent.

Very intersting project.

I suppose it must be similar to permissions to use seawater as coolant, or for producing freshwater from it.

Yeah cool! If you have a twitter or any other way to follow you guys I would love to - I work at a sustainability-focused startup and I know a lot of people who would be interested in this, and not all of them would be in the HN audience.

Love the enthusiasm to share! This is a bit of a coming out party for us, so not much out there in the way of public information. We'll add to that as it comes higher on the list of priorities

Could you share more details about your startup?

If you wish to do it privately, check links at my bio.

Best!
