CarbonCure Technologies

“The type of nanotechnology caused by CO2 mineralization offers several beneficial effects in fresh concrete, the main one being the provision of additional nucleation sites for a better cement hydration reaction. In the case of calcite nanoparticles, which are the main product formed when injecting CO2 into fresh concrete, these nanoparticles can also react with alumina-based components to form additional hydration products, such as carbo-aluminates.” Read our peer-reviewed article on CO2 mineralization in concrete production, published in Revista Ingeniería de Construcción (RIC), a monthly journal of the Department of Construction Engineering and Management of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile: https://lnkd.in/eNt4uDh7 #Concrete #ConcreteInnovation #CarbonCure

In the new issue of Concrete Products, watch for reporting on our exciting research collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Masic Lab led by Professor Admir Masic. “From nanoscale analysis of lab samples to observation of large-scale industrial concrete production, he and a research team will explore mineralization kinetics; quantity, stability, density and spatial distribution of calcium carbonates; and, cement hydration efficiency improvements.” Get details from Concrete Products: https://lnkd.in/ehhE-xqM #CarbonCure #MITMasicLab #Concrete #ConcreteInnovation MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

It may be April 1, but this is no joke: Today, we’re celebrating a Rocky Mountain-sized milestone. 🏔️ Brannan Companies has produced more than TWO MILLION cubic yards of concrete made with CarbonCure! Headquartered in Denver and deeply woven into the fabric of Colorado construction since 1906, Brannan is more than just a ready mix supplier. The Brannan Companies operate across the full construction materials value chain—aggregate production, asphalt and concrete—all while maintaining control over quality, timelines and performance. Behind the scenes is a team dedicated not only to building roads and runways, but also to strengthening communities and actively supporting local nonprofit organizations across Colorado, including A Precious Child giveSPORTS, Transportation & Construction GIRL and CASA Adams County. In less than five years, since its adoption of CarbonCure’s technologies in 2021, Brannan has produced more than 2 million cubic yards and 260,000 truckloads of carbon mineralized concrete have enabled 14,500+ metric tons of CarbonCure carbon savings. This is equivalent to taking more than 3,300 gas-powered cars off the road for a year or the carbon sequestered by 240,000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Track Brannan's carbon savings in real-time here: https://bit.ly/3DYgRQW Join us as we celebrate Team Brannan for proving—one project, one pour and one truckload at a time—that legacy and innovation can go hand-in-hand. #CarbonCure #GreenConcrete #ConcreteConstruction #ColoradoConstruction

We love to see our concrete industry partners highlight their sustainability & innovation leadership! Today, we celebrate Breedon Group plc & BMC for their outstanding commitment to making Concrete That Matters. We’re thrilled to see CarbonCure featured in Breedon’s annual report for 2024: https://lnkd.in/ekH-6AKC As BMC works to reduce cement usage and emissions, part of a portfolio of sustainability strategies, its entire team has embraced our technologies to make a real impact. Here’s how: 🔸 Injecting CO₂: BMC is using CarbonCure to inject captured CO₂ directly into concrete during mixing, permanently storing it in the material. 🔸 Reducing cement use: Since 2017, BMC has deployed CarbonCure concrete in 135,000+ truckloads, unlocking new cement efficiencies and preventing 7,900+ metric tons of CO₂ emissions—the equivalent of taking 1,720 gas-powered cars off the road for a year! Learn more about BMC’s adoption of CarbonCure in a new case study: https://lnkd.in/e5-Wpa7C BMC’s dedication to sustainable practices underscores a passion for delivering greener solutions while meeting the highest standards. Thank you, Breedon & BMC, for leading by example and paving the way for a more sustainable built environment! #Breedon #BMC #CarbonCure

A new Massachusetts Institute of Technology Masic Lab collaboration extends 10-plus years of CarbonCure Technologies research on carbon dioxide utilization and mineralization in fresh and finished #concrete. Armed with advanced analytical spectroscopy and microscopy tools common in #cement or #aggregate quality control, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Admir Masic will lead an investigation of the fundamental mechanisms of #CO2 injected into mixes.

We’re happy to share that CarbonCure’s Yogiraj Sargam, Ph.D. will speak at the spring 2025 edition of the American Concrete Institute Concrete Convention, kicking off this weekend in Toronto. Yogi’s presentation “In-situ Dispersion of Nano-CaCO3 in Concrete: A Sustainable Approach” will explore the use and benefits of nano-CaCO3 in cementitious systems, promoting cement hydration by providing nucleation sites, enhancing particle packing, immobilizing free water, reducing ITZ porosity, and improving mechanical performance and durability. Don’t miss the session on Sunday, March 30, starting at 10:30am: https://lnkd.in/ezWm9ZDx Interested in meeting Yogi on the sidelines of the convention?

Here’s something you don’t see a lot of these days: A resounding 350-73 vote in the U.S. House for legislation that advances sustainability and innovation. Sponsored by Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) and Rep. Valerie Foushee (D-NC), the Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies (IMPACT) Act empowers the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and other agencies to advance low-emission production of cement, concrete and asphalt through research and technical assistance to commercial entities seeking to innovate building materials manufacturing, including the use of carbon capture and utilization technologies like CarbonCure. The Cleveland Plain Dealer offers additional details: https://lnkd.in/gGrjCAUj Thanks to Reps. Miller and Foushee for sponsoring this House legislation - and Sens. Coons and Tillis for their leadership on a parallel Senate bill, too. This legislative momentum signals a bright future for a more resilient and increasingly innovative industry. I’m very glad to see it. I appreciate the strong advocacy of our concrete industry partners who have educated their members of Congress on the environmental and economic benefits that result from such innovation. With 350 “yes” votes, they certainly heard you! Whether motivated by global temperatures, global competition, economic advantage or all of the above, the IMPACT Act has a broad coalition of supporters—from industry groups NRMCA and PCA to environmental groups like NRDC, WRI, Clean Air Task Force, ClearPath Action and CRES—reflecting the power of pragmatic, proven solutions. It’s what we’ve seen over the past decade, deploying CarbonCure across North America, just another indication that building materials innovation is not only possible. It’s beneficial. It’s proven. And it’s common sense. #Innovation #IMPACTAct #Concrete

“Decades ago, the building industry started using fly ash in concrete mixes to reduce carbon emissions compared to the traditional Portland cement mix. This became the new standard. For years, we used 25 % fly ash in our concrete to reduce its carbon intensity. Now, we often use type IL cements. Here, we offset some of the carbon-intensive cement with limestone, which lowers concrete’s embodied carbon. We also push the limits of cementitious substitution with fly ash and other pozzolans. Solutions such as CarbonCure, which sequester carbon, are gaining traction in the building industry.” Learn how the tech sector is looking for advanced solutions for concrete mix designs in sustainable data centers, via this insightful piece from Stantec Senior Principal, Structural Lead David Weihing: https://lnkd.in/evQ2VYK6 #EmbodiedCarbon #GreenConcrete #LowCarbonConcrete
