NRMCA Associate Member CarbonCure Technologies has announced a savings of more than 500,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to date across 7.5 million truckloads of CarbonCure concrete. The company injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete where it immediately mineralizes, becomes permanently stored and enables producers to use less cement while maintaining their concrete’s compressive strength.
“Surpassing 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ savings illustrates the real progress CarbonCure has made in addressing the embodied carbon challenge of our built environment, forecast to double by 2060, equivalent to building a new New York City every month,” said CarbonCure Board chair Lisa Bate. “Corporations and governments are all seeking scalable solutions for lower carbon building materials, especially in the high growth data center and infrastructure segments. CarbonCure is meeting that demand and helping to pave the way for our net zero future.”
Half a million metric tons of CO₂ saved is equivalent to the carbon annually sequestered by 583,000 acres of middle-aged forestland – a forest that would cover roughly half of Grand Canyon National Park. It’s also equivalent to removing 119,000 gas-powered cars from the road for a year.
