Carbon removal specialist CarbonCure is entering the African market, having today (6th November) announced that it will integrate its technology into ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms (ARISE IIP) concrete production process.
The adoption of CarbonCure’s technologies in Benin and Gabon is part of ARISE IIP’s broader commitment to advancing sustainability across its industrial zones and helping it achieve its Net Zero goals.
CarbonCure’s solution for ready-mix concrete injects captured carbon dioxide (CO2) during concrete mixing. Upon injection, the CO2 immediately mineralises and is permanently embedded within the concrete, like rock.
Even if the concrete is later demolished, the CO2 won’t return to the atmosphere. The mineralisation also increases the concrete’s compressive strength, enabling concrete producers to optimise cement content and reduce carbon emissions with no impact on the product.
