About CarbonCure Technologies

Architects, structural engineers, owners, developers, and government agencies are urgently seeking proven ways to reduce the embodied carbon of their building projects. Recognizing concrete as a solution, CarbonCure Technologies, a fast-growing, clean tech company, has developed a technology widely used by concrete producers to reduce their environmental impact and production costs. The technology injects captured CO₂ into concrete during mixing, where it is mineralized and permanently removed from the atmosphere. Available from hundreds of concrete plants, CarbonCure-based mixes are transforming the built environment and have permanently removed more than 130,000 metric tons of carbon emissions from the atmosphere. 

CarbonCure was named the Cleantech Group Global 100’s 2020 North American Company of the Year and winner of the global NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition. CarbonCure’s investors include Amazon, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Microsoft, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Carbon Direct.

The company's core values are innovation, sustainability, trust, high performance, collaboration, and straight talk.
