Company Description

The built environment is responsible for 40% of global emissions. By 2060, we’ll see the built environment double in size; this is equivalent to building one New York City every month for the next 40 years. Much of these emissions come from hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as concrete manufacturing.

Carbon Upcycling’s patented technology reduces the carbon emissions of cement and concrete through carbon utilization and cement abatement, and also improves the strength of concrete while offering better durability and improved rebar protection. Carbon Upcycling Technologies offers the only commercial solution that utilizes solid waste materials, uses flue gas directly, and achieves cement reductions of over 15%. Carbon Upcycling enables lower carbon, higher resilient concrete for the adaptable infrastructure we need in the 21st century.

Since 2014, Carbon Upcycling has scaled its ability to convert CO2 emissions into value-add end materials by over a million times and has since been confirmed as one of the top CO2 utilization companies in the world as a winner of the X-Factor Award in the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE. Carbon Upcycling has been named as a Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label recipient, a funding recipient of Fundación Repsol Entrepreneurs Fund, and a winner of the 2019 76West Clean Technology Competition.

Carbon Upcycling promises to use the waste of today to build a better tomorrow and has a vision of creating a world where carbon is a sustainable resource to shape the future of humanity. We are a team that values and embraces diversity in people and thoughts.
