CarbonCure Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company that specializes in technology designed to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) in concrete production. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the company provides a retrofit solution for existing concrete plants, allowing producers to incorporate waste CO2 from industrial emitters into their concrete products. During manufacturing, this CO2 is chemically converted into solid mineral carbonates, enhancing the strength of the concrete while reducing its carbon footprint. CarbonCure's innovative approach enables concrete manufacturers to produce green concrete without compromising quality or cost, thereby facilitating a shift towards sustainable building practices. The company also offers marketing and environmental reporting services to support its customers in the growing green building market. By licensing its technology at a low capital expenditure, CarbonCure generates a recurring revenue stream while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the concrete industry.
