About us
Concrete That Matters: CarbonCure’s award-winning carbon removal technologies reduce the carbon footprint of concrete. Hundreds of concrete producers around the world use CarbonCure’s technologies to inject captured CO₂ into fresh concrete during manufacturing, where it reacts with cement to transform into a mineral that strengthens the concrete. The mineralized CO₂ is permanently locked away and will never be released back into the atmosphere, even if the concrete is later demolished. In turn, this process generates high-quality carbon credits that deliver immediate, scalable, high-impact climate benefits.

Winning the grand prize of the Carbon #XPRIZE in 2021 was a pivotal moment for CarbonCure - boosting our global scale and multiplying our climate impact. We are grateful for this XPRIZE spotlight. And we thank Team XPRIZE for its ongoing support!
One of the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE Grand Prize winners CarbonCure Technologies is enhancing the sustainability of the cement and concrete industry! The company has already produced a total of more than 7 million truckloads of lower carbon concrete (enough to completely fill the AT&T Stadium in Texas with concrete 13 times over)! 🤯 🏗️ Cement manufacturing accounts for an estimated 7% of the world’s CO2 emissions. CarbonCure is empowering concrete producers to achieve the industry’s net zero commitment by 2050 through tech that permanently stores captured CO2 in concrete through carbon mineralization. 🙌 “We signed up for the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE motivated by the spirit of competition and a vision for how we might leverage the financial winnings to grow our success. In hindsight, we never imagined the extent of our resulting trajectory from making global headlines as an XPRIZE winner. Not only did this title accelerate our growth across North America, it fueled our entry into new markets.” - Pradeep Krishnamoorthy, Senior Director of Hardware & Product Development at CarbonCure Technologies 🌎 CarbonCure has continued to make a big impact since winning the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE. The company has been able to scale its core technology, CarbonCure Ready Mix, which is available in nearly 800 concrete plants in more than two dozen countries. 📈 The company has also been able to surpass 464,000 metric tons of carbon savings from their technologies, equivalent to removing more than 110,000 gas-powered cars from the road for a year. ✖️ Krishnamoorthy said, “XPRIZE has validated the reality that carbon utilization can and should play a key role in both global climate goals and mitigation of hard-to-abate emissions. Through XPRIZE, there is broader acceptance of CO2 not just as a waste stream, but also something that can be used to make valuable products and reduce emissions in the process.” 💡CarbonCure has more projects on the horizon. The company will continue to ramp up the deployment of their proven climate technologies, further innovate to enhance their systems that permanently remove and reduce CO2, and accelerate their growth in international markets.

Don't miss this: CarbonCure's Jesse Hudecki delivers straight talk on #SBTi, #Climate action and the "imperfection that drives progress."
I’m generally an optimistic person, which is essential to work in climate, but the last few weeks (months...years?) have felt like smashing my head against a wall repeatedly. Specifically, in the carbon markets. The debate on purity vs. pragmatism in corporate decarbonization is exhausting, and SBTi's recent pre-guidance guidance on carbon credits has intensified this tired debate. I won't belabour the widespread disappointment with SBTi's most recent report, already well articulated by many (Nathan Truitt, Jennifer Jenkins, Tommy Ricketts), because I really don’t care that much. Why? Because more back and forth isn’t the answer. Immediate, bold actions—even if imperfect—are. The best part of my job is speaking with innovators, climate leaders and doers across a huge variety of organizations in complicated, ‘real-economy’ industries. Some organizations have SBTi targets, and some have dropped them, but they all share one thing: they want to take action now. But it’s hard. These companies, voluntarily taking action despite potential media scrutiny or academic criticism, understand that it requires iterating on today’s decarbonization levers while advocating for the systemic changes needed to hit net-zero targets (i.e. solving for the often overlooked G in ESG: effective Governance structures). Some are struggling to measure their emissions for the first time, others are pushing for budget approvals for climate mitigation projects, and a few are leading the way with flexible approaches to value chain decarbonization that will be invaluable for those further behind in their transition journeys. And you can find examples of orgs in each of these buckets who are doing it without an SBTi target. At CarbonCure, we applaud those companies and governments joining us on our mission to help decarbonize the built environment and make low-carbon materials the industry norm. The challenges are immense, but the climate crisis demands urgent, pragmatic steps—not endless debates and half-measures. We believe in learning as we go, not solving problems with rigid rules before we even know what they should look like. Instead, we advocate for immediate, impactful actions, such as: - Purchasing high-quality carbon credits to compensate for existing, residual emissions today, helping to grow the deployment of solutions and drive down green premiums - Co-innovating new market-based mechanisms to efficiently and flexibly scale tomorrow’s solutions - Requiring or requesting lower carbon materials for all new construction projects At the end of the day, it’s imperfection that drives progress. Imperfect solutions lead to more perfect solutions. Let’s not fall prey to the Nirvana Fallacy. If you’re committed to rejecting analysis paralysis and taking bold, practical actions in the built environment, we should chat. Even more importantly, if you've made it to the end of this diatribe and disagree, I'm even more eager to speak. My inbox is always open.

“Carbon utilization can play an important role in the future net-zero emissions economy by providing a sustainable foundation for essential carbon-based products.” A new congressionally-mandated report from The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reaches that conclusion. The report, “Carbon Utilization Infrastructure, Markets, and Research and Development,” explains that - while fossil fuels will largely be replaced by renewable or nuclear sources of energy - carbon-based products, such as aviation fuels, plastics and construction materials, will still need to be produced. The report cites studies of carbon mineralization in concrete, including CarbonCure’s carbon utilization solution. We welcome this validation of our technologies for lower carbon concrete, permanently mineralizing CO2 in the material, maintaining compressive strength, while also enabling reductions of carbon-intensive cement.
