The world needs climate solutions today at a pace and scale commensurate with the challenges ahead. Carbon Upcycling meets industries where they are today to upcycle their CO2 emissions and industrial byproducts into cement for a zero-waste, zero-carbon future.
For centuries, cement has formed the foundation of modern society. But today, the industry is at a crossroads. Cement manufacturers are faced with meeting an unprecedented global demand during a time of critical material shortages and growing pressure to decarbonize. As a result, manufacturers must innovate to secure their supply chains and find new ways to produce cement sustainably. Now is an opportunity for manufacturers to prepare for and thrive in the low-carbon future they are building.
Learn how Carbon Upcycling helps you create robust, domestic supplies of low-carbon materials from local resources.
Cement
Who we work with
View Cement DetailsThe iron and steel industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Manufacturers are rapidly transitioning to electric arc furnaces and hydrogen reduction processes to meet global demands for low-carbon steel. However, as the industry decarbonizes, the byproducts it once produced can no longer be used to decarbonize cement, until now.
Find out how our team helps you maximize your resource efficiency by leveraging low-grade iron and steel slags to capture CO2 and create new streams of revenue.

The energy transformation is here, and it demands a foundation as robust and clean as the energy it supports. Coincidently, the remnants of our previous energy systems - coal ash - can be reclaimed and upcycled into low-carbon cement for the next generation of energy — circularity at its finest.
Explore how we help you transition legacy assets into tomorrow’s critical infrastructure, creating a win-win-win for the community, environment, and your bottom line.

The transition to a sustainable economy depends on the critical metals and minerals mined today. The mining industry is pressured to meet growing demands but do so in an environmentally responsible manner. The key to a sustainable future in mining lies in using resources more efficiently throughout a mine's life cycle, particularly byproducts like mine excess. As regulatory frameworks tighten and community expectations rise, the industry must find sustainable ways to manage waste that minimize environmental harm and maximize resource recovery.
Learn more about our solution to use mine excess to sequester CO2 emissions and create valuable, low-carbon cement products.

Carbon Upcycling reimagines what we consider as “waste” today by providing a productive pathway for the millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions and industrial byproducts created every year. Our commercial system upcycles these waste streams into critical materials for low-carbon cement – diverting them away from the environment – and into a robust foundation for the next generation.
We work with industrial sites to mineralize their CO2 emissions into their solid byproducts, enhancing them into material to abate carbon-intensive cement. Put simply, we’re capturing CO2 to prevent more CO2 all while creating a circular economy. And we’re doing it now.
Carbon Upcycling Materials
Carbon Capture and Abatement
CO2 emissions are sequestered into upcycled materials and used to abate cement, reducing its emissions by up to 60%.
Industrial Circularity
Solid waste byproducts from other industries are upcycled into high-value materials for low-carbon cement.
Climate Resilient Materials
Our low-carbon materials enable up to 40% stronger concrete with greater resistance to the elements.
Supply Chain Security
We enhance low-value and underutilized materials local to manufacturers to enable robust domestic supply chains.
Cost Parity
At commercial scale, our materials are produced at cost parity with cement to help meet growing demands affordably.
OUR WHY
We envision an inclusive, equitable world where carbon is a sustainable resource in shaping the future of humanity. From addressing our ever-growing global challenges of resource scarcity, supply chain security, and climate adaptation, we believe carbon circularity holds the key.
