The Mission
CarbonCure’s vision is to make its concrete technology standard for all concrete production across the globe. By realizing the full potential of CarbonCure’s portfolio of carbon utilization technologies, the goal of saving 500 million tonnes of embodied carbon emissions every year could be met—which would be equivalent to taking 100 million cars off the road.
More About the Mission
Embodied Carbon Challenge
Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, and the world’s building stock is expected to double by 2060. That’s equivalent to building a new New York City every month!
In order to shrink the carbon footprint of buildings, embodied carbon in new buildings must be reduced. Embodied carbon, or the carbon emitted from the manufacturing of building materials and construction, will account for nearly 50% of carbon emissions from new construction over the next 3 decades. In any given building, concrete can contribute a minimum of 50% of the embodied carbon footprint.
What if, instead of contributing to embodied carbon emissions, concrete actually helped eliminate carbon from the built environment?
CarbonCure’s innovative technology is a direct way to reduce embodied carbon. The technology is retrofitted into concrete plants and enables concrete producers to inject captured CO₂ into fresh concrete during mixing. Once injected, the CO₂ reacts with the concrete mix and becomes a mineral that is permanently embedded. Best of all, the CO₂ mineralization also increases the concrete’s strength, resulting in economic and climate benefits—truly a win-win solution.

Our Commitment to a Carbon-Neutral World
CarbonCure is committed to creating a carbon-neutral world. To do our part, we have purchased enough clean energy to account for our annual operational energy consumption. Through our partnership with Bullfrog Power, a Spark Power company, we are supporting investment in new, renewable energy projects across Canada. Bullfrog’s green electricity comes from a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities.
