description CarbonCure Technologies Overview

CarbonCure Technologies injects captured carbon dioxide into concrete during the mixing process, permanently mineralizing it and strengthening the concrete while reducing its carbon footprint. This innovative technology offers a scalable solution for decarbonizing the construction industry, a major contributor to global emissions. The process is integrated directly into existing concrete production facilities.

help CarbonCure Technologies FAQ

What happens to the carbon dioxide injected by CarbonCure?

CarbonCure introduces captured CO2 into fresh concrete during mixing. The CO2 reacts with calcium compounds in the cement and becomes solid calcium carbonate, so it is mineralized inside the finished concrete rather than stored as a compressed gas.

Does CarbonCure replace cement in the concrete mix?

The injected CO2 does not function as a direct cement substitute. Its mineralization can improve compressive strength, which may allow a concrete producer to reduce the amount of cement needed while still meeting a specified performance target.

Can CarbonCure be added to an existing ready-mix concrete plant?

Yes, the system is designed as equipment that concrete producers can install at an operating batch plant. It meters CO2 into the mixer and connects the resulting production data to CarbonCure's software platform.

How is CarbonCure different from companies such as CarbonBuilt or Blue Planet?

CarbonCure is best known for injecting CO2 during conventional concrete production at ready-mix plants. CarbonBuilt focuses on curing concrete products with CO2, while Blue Planet pursues synthetic limestone aggregate, so the three approaches address different parts of the concrete supply chain.
