A Concrete Opportunity to Meet Tech Climate Goals

Read how concrete, one of the world’s oldest industries, can help big tech—one of the newest—meet ambitious sustainability goals.

CarbonCure FAQ for Engineers

A wide range of technical data which illustrates how CO₂ has a neutral impact on the properties and performance of concrete mixes.

CarbonCure’s Impact on the GWP of Concrete

Concrete made with CarbonCure reduces the carbon impact (GWP) of concrete by 4-6% and may be used in addition to other carbon-reducing strategies.

CarbonCure Green Concrete Policy Primer

Learn about the city and state governments in the United States who are leading the way with low-carbon concrete policies that reduce embodied carbon in construction and the built environment.

CarbonCure Ready Mix Specification Language

Recommended specification language for incorporating concrete that has undergone in-situ carbon dioxide (CO₂) mineralization using CarbonCure's technology into ready mix concrete specifications and/or procurement policies.

Specification Considerations for Engineers

Structural engineers play a vital role in reducing embodied CO₂ by adopting concrete specification best practices, which are contained in this brochure.

CarbonCure FAQ for Designers

CarbonCure’s Contribution to LEED Credits

The breakdown on how CarbonCure contributes to the ability to earn points toward the LEED v4.1 Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction and Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Environmental Product Declarations credits.

CarbonCure Durability Assessment Report

This technical note reviews the conclusion that concrete treated with CO₂ had fresh state properties consistent with the desired performance. The required workability and air content was achieved. The surface resistivity, bulk resistivity and RCPT indicated that the two batches had comparable permeability. Corrosion measurements indicated corrosion had not started in either sample and pore solution pH was unaltered by the CO₂ treatment. Flexural strength increased 6%.

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.
