Product description
CarbonCure's CO₂ mineralization technology for ready-mix concrete is an innovative solution that enhances the sustainability of concrete production. The technology involves injecting captured CO₂ into fresh concrete during mixing. This CO₂ reacts with calcium ions in the cement to form calcium carbonate, which becomes permanently embedded in the concrete matrix. This process not only sequesters CO₂ but also improves the concrete's compressive strength, allowing for a reduction in cement content without compromising performance. The technology is designed for seamless integration into existing concrete plants, requiring minimal changes to standard practices. By adopting CarbonCure's solution, concrete producers can reduce their carbon footprint, meet sustainability goals, and gain a competitive edge in the growing market for green building materials.
