Lafarge says the additive makes concrete both stronger and more sustainable with the ability to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by up to 25% on a lifecycle basis.
The partners will also explore opportunities to expand Carbon Upcycling’s operating capacity by developing larger processing facilities.
Brad Kohl, CEO at Lafarge Western Canada, says: “The results we’ve seen with Carbon Upcycling are really promising. Across our industry, we are all driven to capture and utilise CO2 wherever we can.”
Carbon Upcycling co-founder Apoorv Sinha says: “By collaborating with Lafarge we are taking a meaningful step towards providing the construction community with the tools that will define the circular carbon infrastructure and the impending carbon age.”
