![]() Today, we’re already installed in over 300 plants on four different continents. One is expanding the deployment of our technology around the world. And what (the roadmap) tells you is that we’re going to be pushing on two specific focus areas. This funding and the credibility that this recognition provides allows us to be able to accelerate that roadmap. We actually look at CO2 as a feedstock, where we can take this harmful greenhouse gas and use it to make concrete - the most abundant man-made material on Earth.Ī: Our company is on a mission to reduce 500 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by the year 2030. ![]() Of course, there’s no point in capturing the CO2 if you can’t either put it away permanently, or put it into some product, or find some other creative way of managing that CO2. Q: Where does CarbonCure fit in to the broader carbon capture and clean tech landscape?Ī: Carbon capture is taking the CO2 from either a point source or the atmosphere. They were judged based on their technology’s ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere, and the value of their end products. Judging for the XPRIZE began in 2015 with 35 shortlisted contestants that specialize in turning greenhouse gas emissions into usable products. and oilsands industry group Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), beating out more than 50 competitors during a nearly five-year competition. The CO2 remains trapped in the concrete forever and will not be released into the environment even if the structure is demolished, the company claims.Įarlier this month, CarbonCure bagged a US$7.5 million prize from a U.S. The CO2 reacts with calcium ions from the cement to form calcium carbonate, actually strengthening the concrete - which is a big plus of the technology. ![]() A CarbonCure machine, retrofitted in the concrete plant, captures the carbon and injects it back into the wet concrete mix. Founded in 2012, CarbonCure’s technology captures the carbon dioxide released during concrete production.
