CarbonCure Technologies

When Bill Gates recognizes your company as a “game changer”, people take notice. CarbonCure Technologies received this great recognition through its founders' desire to create sustainability technology for the concrete industry and find new ways to reduce CO2 emissions when concrete is being used. Concrete is essential for the infrastructure we use in our day-to-day lives but it produces a significant amount of pollution. CarbonCure’s innovative technology injects captured carbon, which they call "snow", into concrete. This process increases the strength of the concrete which reduces how much cement is needed in a concrete mix for a project, avoiding significant CO2 emissions as a result. The end product is low emissions concrete. Based in Dartmouth, N.S., CarbonCure Technologies has captured international attention for developing technology that improves efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint of new construction projects. With breakthroughs like this, CarbonCure shows how a single business' ambition and innovation can help the environment and fight climate change.
