Problem

The production of cement and concrete contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions, exacerbating climate change. Traditional methods lack effective means of capturing and utilizing these emissions, leading to environmental concerns and a pressing need for sustainable alternatives.

Solution

Carbix provides a technology for converting CO2 emissions from industrial sources into carbon-negative building materials. Their approach involves using mineral carbonation reactors to transform captured CO2 into cements, mortars, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), concrete aggregates, and high-purity carbonates. By integrating with point-source emission sites, such as cement, steel, waste-to-energy, geothermal, water desalination, and natural gas plants, Carbix facilitates on-site carbon capture and utilization (CCUS). The reactors are powered by renewable energy, further minimizing the environmental footprint of the resulting construction materials. This process reduces the carbon footprint of the construction industry and offers a pathway for industrial plants to achieve net-zero or carbon-negative emissions.

Target Audience

Carbix targets industrial plants with point-source CO2 emissions, construction material suppliers, and the broader building industry seeking sustainable and carbon-negative alternatives.
