Carbon Removal
Technology-based Carbon Removal
CarbonCure's carbon removal technology offers verifiable and scalable climate benefits for concrete, a hard-to-abate industry. To do this, recycled CO₂ is injected into concrete, where it is mineralized and permanently stored, allowing producers to make less carbon intense concrete.
CarbonCure manufactures an award-winning carbon removal technology for the concrete industry that offers permanent, verifiable, and scalable carbon removals and reductions for the concrete industry, a hard-to-decarbonize sector that accounts for about 7% of global CO₂ emissions.
Through CarbonCure's technology, captured CO₂ is injected into concrete, where it chemically converts into a mineral permanently removing the carbon from the atmosphere. In addition to permanently storing carbon, this process strengthens the concrete and enables a reduction in cement use, the most carbon-intensive element of concrete. This allows producers to make the same high-quality concrete with a more sustainable footprint.
These technologies are currently being used in hundreds of concrete production plants across 30 countries and have generated over 300,000 tons of CO₂ savings to date. CarbonCure’s technology won the grand prize in the $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition, where it was selected as the most scalable breakthrough technology to convert CO₂ emissions into usable products.
