Calculating Sustainability Impacts of CarbonCure Ready Mix

This paper shows how the injected CO₂ improved the concrete’s compressive strength with minimal impact on fresh air content or workability. It includes three-way comparisons between a reference batch, reduced binder batch and reduced binder batch with CO₂ addition, confirmed that the CO₂ could allow for a 5-8% reduction in binder loading without compromising strength. A model case shows that integrating a CO₂ utilization step into conventional concrete production can, net of process emissions, reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete by 4.6%.

CarbonCure Ready Mix Technology Case Studies

This paper examines data provided by a ready mix producer partner who installed the CarbonCure Technology and used the system to produce concrete with an optimized dosage of CO₂. 45,000 cubic yards of concrete were produced over an 8 month period using a 5% binder reduction in conjunction with an optimized dose of CO₂. The estimated cement savings exceeded 450 tonnes and more than 400 tonnes of CO₂ emissions were avoided. The use of the technology did not impact the producer’s cycle time; all operations continued as normal throughout this assessment.

Types of Concrete Carbonation

Concrete can be subjected to two distinct types of carbonation, weathering carbonation and early age carbonation. The CarbonCure Technology uses early age carbonation to sequester CO₂ into concrete. The document explores both types of carbonation in more detail.
