CemCycle converts organic waste into carbon‑rich mineral feedstock in minutes using a proprietary mineralization reactor that also captures renewable energy. The resulting minerals can replace traditional cement and concrete inputs, allowing waste generators and construction material producers to lower embodied carbon and create a closed‑loop, energy‑positive system.

Problem
Organic waste is typically landfilled or incinerated, releasing greenhouse gases and contributing to environmental pollution while representing an underutilized resource.
Solution
CemCycle uses a proprietary process to rapidly mineralize carbon from organic waste in minutes, simultaneously generating renewable energy. The technology transforms waste streams into carbon‑rich mineral products that can be incorporated into construction and industrial materials, thereby sequestering carbon and reducing the embodied emissions of the built environment. By offering waste generators a cost‑effective processing option, CemCycle creates a closed‑loop system that turns a liability into a valuable, low‑carbon resource.
Target Audience
Primary customers are waste generators such as municipal landfills, agricultural processors, and industrial facilities, as well as construction material manufacturers seeking low‑carbon mineral inputs.
Features
- Proprietary mineralization reactor that converts organic waste to stable carbon‑rich minerals within minutes
- Integrated energy recovery that produces renewable heat or power as a by‑product of the mineralization process
- Production of carbon‑storing mineral feedstock suitable for use in cement, concrete, and other construction materials
- Decentralized system design enabling on‑site waste processing at landfills, farms, or industrial facilities
- Process that operates without external energy input, making the overall system energy‑positive
