CarbonCure Technologies says one of its major clients has installed its technology at two more of its concrete production facilities.

Dartmouth-based Carboncure this week distributed an announcement by North Carolina-based Concrete Supply Co., saying that it has installed the systems in two more of its facilities. It means three CSC plants around the Greater Charlotte area now use CarbonCure technology to reduce carbon emissions.

This kind of expansion is in line with the growth strategy devised by CarbonCure. The rapidly expanding company aims for growth in part from getting existing customers to install its technology across multiple sites.  

CarbonCure’s technology – which is now used by more than 60 concrete producers across North America -- recycles waste carbon dioxide into concrete. The CO2 is permanently converted into a solid mineral within the concrete. The addition of CO2 also improves the concrete’s compressive strength.

The press release states that CarbonCure is part of a growing industry of CO2-utilization technologies that are expected to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 15 per cent by 2030. The company is one of 23 semi-finalists in the $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE challenge, which has been called the Nobel prize for climate technologies.

CSC has nearly 90 facilities across the Carolinas.

In August, CarbonCure said it had been selected to help produce environmentally friendly construction materials for the California High-Speed Rail project. The company said it has partnered with Outback Materials of Fresno, Calif., which will install CarbonCure’s technology at its Fresno plant. That means the plant will consume rather than emit waste carbon during the production of concrete for several projects, including the high-speed rail project.
