Decarbonizing Concrete by Replacing Cement
About us
Terra CO2, based in Golden, Colorado, has developed a scalable, low carbon alternative for cement replacement in concrete. Our engineered OPUS SCM and SCM+ are direct replacements for fly ash. For every ton of Portland cement displaced by a Terra product, a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions is achieved. Introducing: OPUS Made with abundant, inexpensive, climate-friendly feedstocks. Today, cement production accounts for 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. We replace up to 40% of cement in concrete with climate-friendly, cost-competitive supplementary and alternative cementitious materials. With appropriate mix design the concrete mix can be made cost competitive and with no compromise in performance properties. Our Opus products use abundantly available silicate rocks that can be sourced from existing aggregate mines close to any major market. This creates a huge advantage because it works at scale, using existing infrastructure.

In releasing our market report, we've covered topics ranging from the transportation of green materials to the crucial role of consumers. In our final section, we touch on a key factor for the successful deployment of green construction materials - capital. A shared vision of a decarbonized future without financial investments cannot come to fruition. This section provides insight into the requirement of substantial capital investment at every stage of green construction materials. From the lab to the construction site, the influence of capital is ever-present. Uncover insights into the influence of capital in the final section of our market report here. #greenmaterials #zerowasteconstruction

In 2023, the global #construction industry was estimated to be $10.5 trillion dollars. Within only five years, the industry is expected to grow exponentially, with an estimated value of $16 trillion dollars. On the list of drivers of this immense growth is an increasing demand for luxury homes - highlighting consumers' continued significance in the growth of the global construction industry through their preferences, demands, and purchasing behavior. In an effort to ensure a safe and sustainable future for us all, consumers must not only understand their role in this industry but also commit to adopting green materials. In the fifth section of our market report, we place the consumer at the forefront of the construction industry and uncover their role in catalyzing the integration of green materials. #greenerbuilding #sustainabilityinconstruction #innovativematerials

At Terra CO2, we're unwavering in our commitment to sparking conversations that unlock true #construction #decarbonization and disrupt the carbon footprint of cement. In doing so, we must provide answers to a pivotal question that has encircled the construction industry- how can we optimize transporting heavy materials to reduce costs and carbon footprint? To learn the answer, look to the fourth section of our market report, "The Path to #Green Construction Beyond Incentives and Hype". #sustainabilityinconstruction #cementforhumanity #greenbuilding

Cement makes up just 10-15% percent of concrete by volume, but it is responsible for about 90 percent of its carbon emissions. In 2023 alone, we produced over 4 billion metric tons of cement globally. To put it in perspective, this amount of cement could fill 2,778+ Empire State Buildings. With 2025 just around the corner, the urgency to curb emissions from cement production is at an all-time high. In the third section of our market report, "How Vital Is Scalable and Cost-Effective Raw Material Availability for New Cements?", we examine how cement decarbonization is an environmental necessity and a strategic economic concern - take a look!

"Though factors such as low cost and widespread availability have historically enabled Portland cement to reign supreme, in the face of our changing climate, the future of the construction industry is hinged on innovation and sustainability. While there's no question regarding the need for low-carbon alternatives for cement production, their scalability has accrued some concerns. With this in mind, our team has engineered supplementary and inorganic polymer zero CO2 cements with scalability at the center. From demonstrating multiple successful real-world applications to exclusive agreements with producers of construction materials to produce low-carbon cementitious material in high-demand areas, we've proven to harbor the viable, scalable, and affordable decarbonized cement the industry has been looking for.

In unveiling our full market report last week, we set forth a path toward green construction that goes beyond the incentives and hype surrounding low carbon alternatives for cement replacement in concrete. Though materials like cement are central to the construction of the world around us, the need for sustainable alternatives has and continues to grow. To grasp the vitality and full potential of green construction materials, it is imperative we look beyond industry incentives and examine how characteristics, such as cost-effectiveness and performance superiority, position these materials to transcend traditional materials and address the larger environmental, economic, and societal challenges tethered to them. To learn more, check out the first section of our market report, "How Can Green Construction Materials Compete Without Relying on Incentives?" #greenconstruction #sustainabilityinconstruction
