How It Works

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Carbon Upcycling is a circular decarbonization solution for hard-to-abate industries – accelerating the world towards a zero-waste, zero-emissions tomorrow. Our patented technology upcycles industrial byproducts and CO2 emissions into carbon-enhanced supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to abate cement.

We unlock the potential of underutilized materials like ash, alternative slags, waste glass, mine tailings, and clays. With our innovative process, these materials are no longer an environmental burden to remove but an opportunity to lock away CO2 while reducing per-tonne cement emissions by up to 60%. 

LOREM IPSUM

A Circular Solution.

We transform waste into stronger, lower-carbon alternatives for cement.

a

Easy integration.

No need for equipment like pre-capture.

a

Competitive edge.

Reduce your emissions by up to 60% and produce an end-product that is 40% stronger.

a

Scalable Impact.

Our solution scales alongside your operation.

A Waste-to-Value Solution.

Our technology is an end-to-end carbon management solution that captures CO2 emissions and utilizes them to transform low-value industrial waste into a local source of high-performance SCMs.

Low Energy.

Low-energy, all-electric process that doesn’t require any heating

Near-dry Technology.

Near-dry technology that produces no waste water streama dry powder

Continuity.

A continuous process that matches the 24/7 nature of industrial facilities

Integration.

CUT technology co-locates at an industrial facility like a cement plant or where waste material is abundant. Our technology ties in direly to a facility’s flue stack and leverages a 3 step process.

The Carbon Upcycling Difference

Emissions Reduction.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">CUT SCMs can reduce cement emissions by up to 500kg CO2 / tonne compared to OPC. 

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Increased Production.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">One CUT commercial reactor unit can increase cement production by 2080,000 tonnes annually.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Industrial Symbiosis.

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">With CUT technology, the cement industry can upcycle new or leftover materials into SCMs and also provide a consistent solid waste management solution for other industries.
