Carbon removal specialist CarbonCure Technologies has saved more than 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) to date with its technology that injects captured CO2 into concrete.
The milestone was achieved across 7.5 million truckloads of CarbonCure concrete.
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.
