CarbiCrete

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.

There's been a lot of buzz about CarbiCrete's first ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), quantifying our #globalwarming potential (GWP) at 11.7 kg CO2e per cubic metre-- a 20X reduction compared to the #industry average. But why are EPDs important?   Check out this video from Leila Schein at Climate Earth tackling EPDs, their significance, and their impact. Working with Climate Earth was crucial to producing CarbiCrete's EPD and accurately demonstrating the #carbon impact of our #technology.    For more info on CarbiCrete and Climate Earth's partnership, be sure to sign up for our webinar on January 21: https://lnkd.in/eGPz2JsX

Last week, CarbiCrete CEO Jacob Homiller was joined by Clément Boisselier, Aecon Group Inc.’s Senior Advisor, Sustainability and Environment, and Nashat Andraws. P.Eng., Technical Performance & Data Transformation Manager, Innocon Inc, a subsidiary of Lafarge Canada, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Aecon's #innovation and training centre in #Ontario. The event marked the completion of the first low #carbon structure to be constructed using CarbiCrete’s cement-free #concrete masonry units (CMUs) and Lafarge Canada’s ECOpact concrete mix. We're proud to have been a part of this project. Through cross-sector collaboration, we can transform the #construction industry with deep #decarbonization and work toward #netzero #emissions goals.

Last month, $1.2 billion was awarded in grants to accelerate the use of cleaner asphalt, #concrete, glass, and steel in the #UnitedStates. With the production of #cement, concrete's key ingredient, accounting for over 7% of all global #emissions each year, funding like this is crucial for advancing #innovation in the sector. At CarbiCrete, we're producing concrete that contains no cement and helps to remove #CO2 from the atmosphere permanently. We're proud to be contributing to the transformation of concrete, the world's most-used manmade #material.

To create an effective #sustainability strategy, many corporate #climate action plans are incorporating emissions reduction with support of novel #carbondioxide removal (CDR) technologies. CarbiCrete employs CDR to trap carbon dioxide in our cement-free #concrete products, permanently removing the pollutant from the atmosphere. "To effectively limit temperature rise, we must drastically reduce ongoing #emissions, as well as deploy carbon dioxide removal technologies to draw down excess atmospheric #CO2 already emitted."

With our Environmental Product Declaration, generated by Climate Earth, officially available, CarbiCrete is showing that you don't need #cement to built resilient structures.   "EPDs provide precise and transparent #data to architects, engineers and builders when choosing #materials vital to meeting #sustainability goals. The Climate Earth certification gives #Montreal-based CarbiCrete the equivalent of a manufacturing seal of approval for its cement-free CMUs."   Read more on CarbiCrete's EPD and plans for expansion from Sustainable Biz Canada:

For the #construction industry, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are quickly becoming a required part of the planning process. EPDs quantify a product's environmental #impact and can help an #engineer, #architect, or #designer quantify the #carbonfootprint of a project. Interested in learning more about what an #EPD is, how to develop one, and why they're so important in #emissions intensive industries like #concrete? Check out part one of CarbiCrete's EPD blog here: https://hubs.li/Q02ZHYLL0 #sustainability #innovation

With an EPD-verified #globalwarming potential that is 20X lower than the industry average, CarbiCrete's cement-free #concrete products are a great way to lower the #environmental impact of your next construction project. "The #building sector is a key driver of electricity use and carbon #emissions. #Green buildings use low-carbon and energy-efficient technologies to improve their #sustainability and reduce #energy needs."

CarbiCrete is proud to be a Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association associate member. Together we're working to drive #innovation and clean #technology growth in the #concrete industry. Check out a recent photo from Robert Bowers of CMHA's recent visit to CarbiCrete HQ below:

Big news! CarbiCrete has partnered with Climate Earth, the leading environmental product declaration (EPD) developer in the #construction industry, to produce a facility-specific, ASTM-verified #EPD for CarbiCrete #concrete masonry units (CMUs) manufactured with our production partner Patio Drummond. We’re proud to announce that the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of our CarbiCrete CMUs was quantified at 11.7 kg #CO2 per cubic meter. With a 20X lower #globalwarming potential compared to the industry average, CarbiCrete #technology presents a revolutionary path forward for the concrete industry.
