CarbonCure 1

Project Description

This project captures waste CO2 that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere and utilizes it as a feedstock in ready-mix concrete production, permanently mineralizing approximately 60% of the injected CO2 into the concrete structure. The CarbonCure technology enables concrete producers to reduce their Portland cement usage while maintaining equivalent compressive strength, further reducing emissions since cement production accounts for about 8% of global CO2 emissions. The project operates at 43 initial concrete manufacturing facilities across Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with plans to expand to additional U.S. locations as a grouped project.

Risk of Potential Reversals

This project has no risk of reversal because its avoided emissions are not subject to being undone.
