CarbonCure low-carbon ready-mix and precast concrete
Ready-mix and precast concrete manufactured by injecting liquefied CO2 into the mixer, forming nano-scale calcium carbonate minerals that enable cement reduction while maintaining or increasing strength.
Problem solved
Reduces cement demand and embodied CO2 in ready-mix and precast concrete by mineralizing injected CO2, without compromising structural performance.
Application contexts
- ready-mix-concrete
- precast-concrete
- building-integrated-pv
- industrial-equipment
Technical principle
Liquid CO2 is injected directly into the mixer; it forms nano-scale CaCO3 minerals on cement particles, increasing compressive strength and allowing a proportional cement reduction (~6% per m3 observed on H-piles).
Typical use cases
- Low-carbon ready-mix for public works
- Precast H-piles and structural elements with CO2 mineralization
Partnership route
How global engineering teams typically engage this asset.
Helpful to include: target CO2 reduction rate per m3 · plant compatibility with CO2 injection · annual volume per plant · cold-climate performance data
