Concrete That Matters

CarbonCure envisions a global cement and concrete industry that sustains people and regenerates our planet.

The Mission

CarbonCure’s mission is to empower cement and concrete producers with technologies and strategies to achieve the industry’s net zero commitment by 2050.

With hundreds of systems operating across the global concrete industry, CarbonCure’s suite of technologies enable concrete producers to harness the benefits of carbon mineralization to produce reliable, lower carbon concrete mixes.

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 enables optimization of cement in each truckload of concrete, resulting in economic and climate benefits—truly a win-win solution.
