In production — Devanahalli, Karnataka

Cement emits almost its own weight in carbon. Gau Plaster is a cow dung wall plaster made without a kiln.

No clinker. No calcination. Cheaper than cement, cooler to live behind, and every bag buys dung from a village gaushala.

Nothing is roasted, so nothing is released.

That is roughly 2,756 km in a petrol car — burnt to finish walls that will then let heat in for fifty years.

The greenest wall is the one that never went through a kiln.

Cement's carbon is chemistry, not fuel. Roasting limestone at 1,450°C drives CO₂ out of the rock itself. The only way past it is to stop roasting — so we did.

Drawn to scale

Four manufactured layers, or one.

Three of the four layers on the left exist only to correct the one beneath. Take out the cement and they stop being necessary.

Why it is sustainable

Six reasons, each with a mechanism behind it.

No kiln, ever
Nothing to capture or offset. The 900 grams per kilogram simply never happens.
Built from waste
Dung is produced daily whether anyone buys it or not. We put that carbon in the wall.
Cooler rooms
It insulates, so the fan and the air conditioner work less for the life of the building.
Nothing synthetic
Natural inputs only. Nothing off-gasses into the room, nothing is hazardous at end of life.
Travels almost nowhere
Raw materials come from within about 40 km of the plant.
Village income
Dung is bought from gaushalas on a standing order. A cow that pays for its feed is a cow that stays.

The saving that repeats

Carbon is paid once. Cooling is paid every summer.

Drag the slider. A standard Indian wall has no insulation in it at all.
