Carbon Limit empowers cement and concrete manufacturers to deliver resilient and sustainable solutions for the construction industry to improve their materials performance while reducing their carbon footprint.
Carbon Limit’s CaptureCrete® is an innovative solution that enables improved cement and concrete products strength performance, reducing the need for clinker or cement content, all while maintaining the assigned plastic properties.
Through our atmospheric CO2 mineralization mechanism, the reduction of cement content qualifies for Avoidance Credits generation, which we assist on processing, verifying, issuing and selling to the Voluntary Credit Market for the subsequent share of the resulting net proceeds with our customers (additional to other available sharing models that can be tailored to project specific needs).
Additionally, our mineralization mechanism results in atmospheric CO2 sequestration acceleration, hence, presenting the opportunity to generate Removal Credits, for which we are continuously working on, along with Global Industry experts, to define the best and most agreeable quantification methodologies available within the industry.
CaptureCrete® is a proprietary blend of natural minerals and CO2-reactive materials that absorbs and permanently sequesters atmospheric CO2 in concrete, via mineralization.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Can replace up to 30% of traditional Portland Cement.
Carbon Capture
Absorbs and mineralizes CO₂ directly from the atmosphere.
Enhanced Durability
The chemisorption and carbonation processes strengthen the concrete, enhancing its durability & lifespan.
Ease of Use
Easily integrated into existing concrete production processes.
Generates Carbon Credits
High quality credits, providing additional revenue streams.
An additive dosed at 0.5–2.0% by mass of cementitious content that improves concrete performance and enables cement reductions for net savings.
Up to 12% cement reduction.
A Supplementary Cementitious Material that can replace up to 30% of conventional cement, lowering concrete’s carbon footprint & enhancing its ability to capture atmospheric CO₂.
Up to 30% CO2 avoidance
Our journey begins with a collaborative meeting where we align your project’s goals and expectations with our projected value proposition, or “Projected Customer Minimum Margin". Together, we set the foundation by outlining our common "rules of engagement”, completing all documentation requirements, establishing the success criteria necessary to confirm and reach product fulfillment, while ensuring the most efficient use of your company's resources from day one.
Once the business agreement is in place, we collaborate to develop a detailed testing program tailored to your targets. This includes reviewing specific testing protocols, planning for material requirements, and planning for equipment and resources needed for testing, and concrete and carbonation sampling and manipulation requirements. We aim to set a strong foundation for effective performance assessments.
Once the testing program has been confirmed and agreed upon, we ship materials for performance testing at your site. Whether through laboratory or field-based trials, producers execute performance testing. Concrete performance testing shall follow the typical benchmarks defined for ready mix concrete quality control testing, while carbonation testing will follow specific benchmarks to ensure optimal results. Our technology and support will ensures that your project progresses smoothly, regardless of scope changes.
After testing is completed, we analyze the technical results (including among others, strength gains and carbonation) and present to You our applied technology benefits. We review the original “Projected Customer Minimum Margin” and incorporate the technical results from the execute testing, and generate a revised value proposition, or "Confirmed Customer Minimum Margin”, ensuring the minimum expectations are met - or exceeded - to proceed with fulfillment (adjusting commercial terms if necessary). This step solidifies the optimal approach moving forward.
Finally, we embark on the journey of product fulfillment and support, ensuring data integration between us to process, validate and commercialize credit for net proceeds sharing, as well as ensuring a seamless product delivery program, and post-sale technical support. Our post-sale technical support continues will continue to drive efficiencies and innovation, allowing your operations' to rapidly - yet sustainably - increase the utilization of our technology, generating larger economical benefits, increasing your competitive advantage, and ensuring continuous improvement of your bottom line performance.
Concrete made with CaptureCrete® actively attracts CO₂ pollution from the surrounding atmosphere and stores it permanently via CO₂ mineralization.
Carbon capture and sequestration in concrete using CaptureCrete® can reach as much as 100 kg of CO2 per ton of concrete.
Employing CaptureCrete® SCM also offsets the CO2 emissions of the replaced conventional cement. In total, using CaptureCrete® could potentially reduce the concrete's CO2 footprint by as much as 75%.
