CarbonCure is a company that is reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment by using recycled CO2 to improve the manufacturing of concrete.
 

CarbonCure’s technology is installed in concrete plants across the world to permanently sequester or “lock in” carbon dioxide by injecting it into concrete as it is mixed. This CO2 mineralization improves concrete’s compressive strength, resulting in concrete products that meet or exceed quality benchmarks, while at the same time decreasing both greenhouse gas emissions and manufacturing costs.
 

To expand its operations, CarbonCure needed the relevant standard for manufacturing concrete to include its patented technology as one of the acceptable methods of producing concrete. SCC helped CarbonCure get the current standard updated with the addition of a new annex. We also provided advice on how to get this annex integrated into the National Model Construction Codes (and into provincial and territorial adoptions of the codes).
 

SCC is helping CarbonCure to take part in international standardization activities by facilitating its participation as an observer on relevant European standardization technical committees for concrete specifications. This will enable CarbonCure’s entry and expansion into European markets.
