The CarbonCure process reuses CO2, a greenhouse gas, to enhance the sustainability and profitability of the concrete and cement sector.
Niven's induction into Canada’s Top 40 under 40 comes within the same year that he was awarded the Ernest C Manning Innovation Award and the CarbonCure team was selected as a semi-finalist in the $20 million NRG Cosia X-Prize competition.
CarbonCure’s retrofit technology chemically sequesters waste carbon dioxide during the concrete manufacturing process to make greener and stronger concrete. CarbonCure is part of a growing industry of CO2-utilization technologies that are expected to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2030.
CarbonCure’s technology is currently operational in a growing number of concrete plants across North America, including several of the world’s largest vertically-integrated cement and concrete companies.
