CarbiCrete

Happy Earth Day! 💚🌍♻️ At CarbiCrete, we're proud to contribute to the global fight against rising emissions and #climatechange. We're helping to reduce the #carbonfootprint of #concrete, the most-used manmade material on #Earth, with our #innovative cement-free technology. #Cement is concrete's traditional binding agent. Though it only makes up about 10-15% of the concrete mix, it is responsible for nearly 90% of concrete's associated #emissions. The CarbiCrete process enables a 100% replacement of cement with steel slag, an #industrial byproduct. This can reduce concrete's #embodiedcarbon emissions while valorizing #waste and contributing to the #circulareconomy. In the CarbiCrete process, concrete products are cured with #carbondioxide in a specialized chamber. This #carbonmineralization further lowers the #environmentalimpact of the blocks and permanently removes emissions from the atmosphere by trapping them in a valuable #product through #carbondioxideremoval. Utilizing CarbiCrete #technology can ultimately reduce the embodied #carbon levels of concrete #masonry units by over 100% compared to conventional cement-based processes.

In order to reach our #NetZero goals, it's time to start tackling Scope 3 value chain #emissions.   Verra, the world's biggest certifier of voluntary carbon offsets, is launching a #Scope3 Standard to assess and quantify corporate Scope 3 emissions reductions.   CarbiCrete is proud to be a part of Verra's #S3S piloting phase. We're working to reduce #supplychain emissions in the #concrete industry by replacing 100% of heavily emissive #cement with a steel-making byproduct. That's a huge step in the right direction.   We're so excited to be working with our partner 3Degrees Group, Inc. to help Verra develop this trailblazing program, bringing together industry stakeholders to #decarbonize across the value chain.

Leadership in #Energy and #Environmental Design (LEED) was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council and adopted by the CAGBC | Canada Green Building Council to certify #buildings that demonstrate a dedication to #sustainable practices and responsible #environmentalimpact. Incorporating #cement-free #concrete products manufactured using CarbiCrete #technology as part of a suite of sustainable building practices can help a project demonstrate a commitment to #environmentallyfriendly building #materials and a reduced #carbonfootprint. Learn more about CarbiCrete's alignment with #LEED principles in our latest #blog post, and download CarbiCrete’s LEED v4.1 Guide here: https://hubs.li/Q02LvnwY0 #sustainabledevelopment #greenbuilding

Sustainable #construction is the future for Canadian cities! In #Toronto, they’ve developed a highly successful #green building policy, the Toronto Green Standard (TGS) mandating the #development of resilient and #decarbonized buildings. “For #Canada, the TGS represents both a model and proactive approach to reaching Toronto’s mission of #netzero by 2040 through strict requirements for new buildings related to materials, water use and #energy.” Through the selection of #lowcarbon materials, building designers can contribute to meeting green building certifications like the #TGS. CarbiCrete-enabled #concrete products help reduce the overall embodied carbon #emissions of a building project through the complete replacement of cement in the concrete mix. Learn more about the TGS and CarbiCrete’s #solution to decarbonizing building materials in our latest #blog post: https://hubs.li/Q02KfZFF0 #innovation #builtenvironment

Exciting updates from CarbiCrete's collaboration with Innocon Inc, a member of Lafarge Canada, and Aecon Group Inc.'s #Innovation Training Centre! Together, we're making progress in low-carbon #sustainable #construction. Stay tuned for more on this unique project to help #decarbonize the built environment.

Montreal plans to respond to the challenges of climate change through the acceleration of the city’s circular #economy. Including a focus on #construction, Montreal wants to ensure the development and commercialization of innovative solutions working towards a #circular and #sustainable future. "The circular economy offers #development potential that several Montréal companies have already tapped into. However, it involves revisiting production and consumption patterns as well as business models." CarbiCrete is a Montreal-founded company with #technology enabling the production of decarbonized concrete through the complete replacement of cement with a byproduct of the #steelmaking industry, steel slag. Through the valorization of this otherwise landfilled material, CarbiCrete is directly contributing to circularity in #Canada!

When we work together, we can accomplish amazing things! CarbiCrete is thrilled to be working with Aecon Group Inc. and Innocon Inc, a member of Lafarge Canada, at the Aecon #Innovation and Training Centre. We're creating new solutions in #sustainability, developing #decarbonized #concrete products that help lower the #embodiedcarbon of the #builtenvironment. Keep an eye out for more to come on this partnership to create #construction materials with a reduced #carbonfootprint.

Developing new #technology to remove historical #emissions and permanently store #carbondioxide is a major component of a comprehensive #netzero strategy. At CarbiCrete, #carbon mineralization help us enable the production of #concrete products that sequester carbon, locking it up even if the concrete is destroyed. Combined with our use of industrial #waste feedstocks, this #innovation can have a major impact on the heavily-emissive #construction industry. "This breakthrough helps mitigate #climatechange by transforming a considerable carbon-emitting #material into a carbon sink. CarbiCrete is a company leveraging this and has developed a process that replaces #cement with steel slag and cures the concrete with #CO2 captured from industrial processes.

This week, CarbiCrete will be represented by Yuri Mytko, Michael Telischak, Gary Belisle, CPA, CMA, MBA, Richard Lapointe, and Pete Collura at the Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association Midyear meeting in Ottawa. Bringing together key stakeholders in concrete manufacturing—representing the world’s most used manmade material–makes this event an exciting time to talk about a #sustainable future for #concrete! CarbiCrete #technology helps concrete manufacturers reduce over 100% of the emissions associated with conventional concrete through the complete replacement of cement and permanent removal of #CO2. This solution contributes to the vision of a fully decarbonized construction industry—achievable through both #innovation and #collaboration.

For corporations looking to meet #netzero goals, understanding your #emissions in terms of scope 1, 2, and 3 is crucial for developing a comprehensive strategy. Scope 3 emissions, which relate to the #manufacturing and #transportation of products, can make up a significant portion of total emissions inventories. At CarbiCrete, we're working to reduce scope 3 emissions in the #concrete industry through eliminating the use of its main active ingredient, #cement. Globally, cement production accounts for nearly 8% of all #greenhousegas emissions. "CarbiCrete #technology itself presents an excellent opportunity to reduce industrial Scope 3 emissions, a much-needed solution for the concrete #industry. The CarbiCrete process addresses a major source of #upstream Scope 3 emissions for concrete manufacturers through enabling concrete production without using cement." Learn more about scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and CarbiCrete's #impact in our latest blog post: https://hubs.li/Q02KfYlk0 #climatechange #carbondioxide
