Concrete That Matters: CarbonCure Technologies is on a mission to empower cement and concrete producers with technologies and strategies to achieve the industry's net zero commitment by 2050. Across the global concrete industry, CarbonCure is scaling an integrated, drop-in solution, offering concrete producers a suite of hardware, software and services to increase the cement efficiency of their concrete products, reduce their production costs and meet demand for green building materials without compromising performance. CarbonCure’s technologies are retrofitted into concrete plants without disrupting operations and seamlessly integrate with existing batching processes. CarbonCure injects captured CO₂ across the concrete manufacturing process, with commercialized solutions for ready mix and precast concrete. Upon injection, CO₂ immediately mineralizes in concrete, becoming permanently embedded. Even if a structure is later demolished, the nanoparticles of mineralized carbon will not return to the atmosphere. This mineralization also enables producers to reduce the amount of cement needed for each truckload of concrete. A Carbon XPRIZE Grand Prize winner, Cleantech 100 Hall of Fame Company and a category leader in carbon utilization technologies for lower carbon concrete, CarbonCure delivers a true win-win, with environmental benefits for the world and economic benefits for concrete producers in one of the world's hardest-to-decarbonize industries.
