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.
AI-assisted directory summary. Technical specifications, performance metrics, readiness and compliance labels are unverified unless individually supported and reviewed. Proposed partnership routes do not establish supplier consent, export eligibility, or willingness to sign an NDA. Confirm claims and test conditions with the linked sources and supplier before procurement or citation.
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
