WHAT IS CAPTURECRETE®?
The concrete industry contributes to approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions, primarily stemming from cement production.
Carbon Limit’s CaptureCrete® is an innovative solution that combines Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology with CO2 mineralization to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete significantly. CaptureCrete® puts carbon-capturing technology directly into the hands of cement & concrete manufacturers. They can license the formula to create the additive on-site and use it in any concrete.
Furthermore, every time CaptureCrete® is used in concrete it generates high quality carbon credits of 1000+ year permanence. Carbon Limit’s forward credits
are validated by Bureau Veritas under Covalent’s Certification Standard, and are available for pre-purchase.
how
it works
CaptureCrete® is a proprietary blend of natural minerals and CO₂-reactive materials that absorbs and permanently sequesters atmospheric CO₂ in concrete, via mineralization.
ATMOSPHERIC CO2
REDUCTION
& STORAGE
Concrete made with CaptureCrete attracts CO₂ pollution from the surrounding atmosphere and stores it permanently at a deeper depth via carbonization.
IMPROVED
PERFORMANCE
OVER TIME
Lab tests show an increasein compressive strength compared tostandard OPC, as concrete developsself-healing properties.

FOOTPRINT
Dual decarbonization: Pre-cure at point ofmanufacturing and post-cure as concretestarts capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Atmospheric CO₂ reduction & storage
Concrete made with CaptureCrete® actively attracts CO₂ pollution from the surrounding atmosphere and stores it permanently via CO₂ mineralization.
CaptureCrete® is available in two forms, designed to harmonize with a wide spectrum of concrete products and mix designs

MAKING THE INVISIBLE
VISIBLE
The images show three samples that were exposed to the same amount of CO2.
A phenolphthalein solution was used to assess the extent of carbonation. The areas which are not pink are the carbonated areas.
CaptureCrete® visibly enhances CO2 penetration & mineralization in concrete.
CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION
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%.
