EASY TO IMPLEMENT CarbonCure field engineers retrofit the technology onto any precast plant configuration. The CO2 tank is installed by a third party, and refilled by gas companies on a regular basis. CarbonCure engineers hook up the equipment to the tank and plant batching system in mere hours, without disrupting operations. CarbonCure’s software integrates seamlessly with existing batching software, administering the CO2 just like an admixture. BETTER PROFITABILITY, BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT CarbonCure’s technologies enable concrete producers to gain a competitive advantage and grow their businesses with high-performing, more sustainable concrete—all while reducing embodied carbon emissions in the built environment.
CARBONCURE TECHNOLOGIES CarbonCure Technologies, a fast-growing carbon dioxide removal tech company, has developed easy-to-adopt solutions that enable concrete producers to use captured carbon dioxide to produce reliable, low-carbon concrete mixes and achieve market differentiation. CarbonCure’s technologies for Ready Mix, Precast/Prestressed and Reclaimed Water enable concrete producers to inject captured CO2 into the fresh concrete while it's being mixed. Once injected, the CO2 chemically converts into a mineral, which permanently embeds the CO2 within the concrete and actually improves the concrete’s compressive strength. This enables concrete producers to safely reduce the cement content in their mix designs and create new lines of revenue through carbon credits. In the end, architects, engineers and contractors get the same reliable, high-quality building product but with a smaller carbon footprint.
It’s estimated that up to 50 percent of commercial building developers are currently looking for more sustainable construction solutions. The trend will continue to grow in the years ahead as the focus on reducing carbon emissions intensifies due to private sector demand and new preferences in government procurement. CarbonCure’s approach to CO2 reduction is to create retrofit solutions for the concrete industry with very low barriers to adoption. These solutions reduce the carbon footprint of concrete, while boosting profitability, raising quality without impacting strength, and creating a differentiated sales advantage. CarbonCure’s Technical Services and Support (TSS) team supports producers throughout the implementation process, and the company’s Market Development team has experts who offer sales and marketing training for new customers, so they are well equipped to discuss and market CarbonCure to their advantage. SUMMARY CarbonCure’s technologies provide producers with solutions that enable cement reductions, and produce more sustainable concrete. With more than 550 systems sold, over 2.3 million truckloads of CarbonCure mixes have supplied a broad spectrum of sustainable construction projects around the world. With CarbonCure, producers can produce the same concrete but with less carbon. To learn more visit carboncure.com/cpci
