Our mission

DALE is committed to transforming rock dust into high-performance materials for the cities of tomorrow. Our products offer a viable and responsible alternative to conventional aggregates, without compromising performance.

At DALE, we believe that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. Our goal is to revolutionize the construction industry by offering eco-friendly aggregates made from rock dust, reducing environmental impact and promoting the circular economy.

Our vision

The project

Green Energy

Harnessing the power of solar mirrors – We use solar mirrors to concentrate sunlight and reach the high temperatures needed for sintering.

100% autonomous – Our facility is entirely self-sufficient, operating completely off-grid.

A sustainable energy mix – The combination of solar thermal and electrical energy ensures a clean and self-sufficient process.

Local resources

Rock dust – Our raw material is abundant, underutilized, and available all around us.

Local construction – We build as close as possible, reducing heavy transport and logistics.

Community empowerment – This approach strengthens local autonomy and reduces environmental impact.

Eco-responsible

Lower emissions – Traditional concrete is responsible for 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Our low-carbon aggregates provide a cleaner alternative to cement-based heavy materials.

Resource valorization – By using rock dust, we reduce dependence on aggregates from rivers, seas, and mountains.

Rethinking construction – Our process limits transport, pollution, and environmental footprint, enabling a more sustainable large-scale construction model.

A unique idea

Solar-powered – A process that relies solely on concentrated sunlight, without combustion or chemicals.

Designed for dusty environments – Ideal in quarries or other demanding areas where conventional materials are difficult to exploit.

Scalable and sustainable – A low-tech process adapted to the climate crisis… and maybe tomorrow, for lunar habitats.

Our Technology

The patented DALE process transforms rock dust into eco-friendly aggregates using solar energy and advanced sintering techniques.

The plant size is scalable according to industrial needs, and our patented reactor maximizes solar power to minimize losses.
