Thanks to funding from a National Science Foundation Small
Business Innovation Research (NSF-SBIR) grant, Dr. Henry Liu
was able to develop what the June 2007 Popular Science
Magazine called one of the “Top Ten Inventions of the Year.”

Greenest Brick--The Brick of the Future
. . .

Leading the Brick Industry in Ecological Responsibility

The Green Brick Company is a cooperative effort of individuals and
companies working together to produce the ultimate environmentally
friendly brick—the Greenest Brick (trademark pending). Green Brick
Company provides design and engineering support to both existing
companies and new companies who have become Greenest Brick licensees.

Green manufacturing and Green buildings are both top priorities of
most nations including the United States. As quoted by a government
website, "Liu's innovative use of fly ash to manufacture high quality building
materials will potentially decrease some of the negative environmental
impact of coal-fired power generation while meeting increasing demands for
greener building materials." --May 2007 NSF Press Release 07-058

100% Fly Ash Brick is the nation's "Greenest Brick" because . . .

		it is made of pure fly ash (without having to add cement, sand,
		aggregates, clay or binder),
		it's kiln-free manufacturing process is emission free, in contrast to
		the pollutants emitted by manufacturing clay bricks and cement
		it eliminates waste disposal of fly ash and saves landfill space, and
		it does not contribute to global warming--bypassing the need for
		burning fossil fuel as required by clay brick kilns.

Meeting LEED Requirements--Greenest Brick will help meet LEED
requirements
Transportation Efficiency--Greenest Brick factories can often be located
next to coal-fired power plants. In doing so, the fly ash can be transported
by pneumatic conveying directly from the power plant to the brick factory
without having to use trucks, and the products (Greenest Bricks) can be
shipped out using the same railroad that deliver the coal to the power plant.
Cleaner Air—In a government sponsored research project, it was found
that the Greenest bricks instead of leaching minute amounts of mercury as
some researchers had predicted, the bricks do the reverse – adsorbing
toxic metal out of ambient air, making the ambient air cleaner – see 2007
World of Coal Ash paper, "Test of Mercury Vapor Emission from Flyash
Bricks."
