 INTRODUCTION

CONCRETE
 Key Construction Material
 Contribution to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
 Most resilient building material
 By 2060 expected to add 230 billion sqm of new buildings
 Due to cement’s inherent calcination process
 Adoption of carbon reduction technologies and best practices
 Paris Climate Agreement
WHY THE DECARBONIZATION OF CONCRETE
MATTERS?
CARBON CURE METHOD
CARBONCURE FOR READY MIX, MASONRY,
AND PRECAST
 CarbonCure for Ready Mix, Masonry, and Precast uses mineralization technology
to inject captured CO2 into concrete during the mixing process.
 Once injected, the CO2 is chemically converted to a mineral and permanently
embedded in the concrete — removing it from the atmosphere
 BENEFITS
 Concrete’s compressive strength
 Enabling concrete producers to use less cement
 Reducing the concrete’s carbon footprint
 BUILDING A GREENER FUTURE TOGETHER
 Concrete Producers  Builders and Designers  Government & Policymakers
