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. This #EarthDay, learn more about CarbiCrete's groundbreaking #innovation and its contribution to global #sustainability: https://lnkd.in/eX6sRpwN #climatetech #environment #EarthDay2024

Concrete carbon removal
About us
CarbiCrete is a Montreal-based carbon removal technology company whose patented technology enables the production of cement-free, carbon-negative concrete made with industrial by-products and captured carbon dioxide. For every ton of concrete produced using the CarbiCrete process, 150 kg of CO2 are abated/removed. Conventional concrete is made with cement, the production of which accounts for nearly 10% of the world’s CO2 emissions! We’ve replaced cement in the mix with steel slag, industrial waste that is far cheaper than cement. Using carbonation activation, CO2 is injected into the wet concrete to give it its strength. Because we capture and permanently sequester CO2 in the concrete, these products are carbon-negative. Our patented technology can be implemented in any concrete products plant.

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. Read more from Verra: #sustainability #innovation
📢 Verra has commenced the piloting of its Scope 3 Standard (S3S) Program, a major milestone in the development of this new program, which will certify value chain interventions and issues units for use in companies’ emissions accounting. ➡️ In the initial piloting phase, pilots will be adapting three methodologies that are active in Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program for use in the S3S Program (VM0042, VM0043, and ACM0009). Pending a successful piloting process and methodology approval, these three methodologies will become the first S3S methodologies when it launches in 2025. 💡The four pilot projects adapting the VCS methodologies will also test the S3S Program rules, requirements, processes, and documents. The pilot projects cover the apparel, agriculture (arable and livestock), construction, and communications services sectors and are located in Europe, Asia, and North America. ☑️ The projects are implemented by 3Degrees Group, Inc. (with partner CarbiCrete and others), Bayer | Crop Science (with partners ATOA Carbon and Perennial), Klim (and partners), Patagonia (with technical advisor Anew Climate). ➡️ Read the full announcement: https://bit.ly/3XmcqpR #Verra #StandardsMatter #ClimateAction #Scope3

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

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!

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.

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
