Carbon Upcycling Technologies Inc.

Purpose

Our novel technology platform unlocks new advances in strength and durability for cement replacements. By permanently storing CO2 in industrial byproducts and natural materials—from coal plants, glass manufacturing, mine sites, and more—we are improving performance and lower emissions. We work directly with cement and concrete producers to utilize the CO2 they’re already capturing onsite for our processes. We also reduce second-order CO2 emissions by removing the need to import expensive SCM feedstocks from overseas and we use local wastes instead, such as steel slag. Carbon Upcycling’s SCMs decrease the amount of cement used in the production of concrete by up to 20%. Specifically, in this project we will deploy our 50 tonne per day reactor with the goal to scale up to a 200 tonne per day reactor which utilizes waste steel slag, and CO2 emissions for permanent storage. This creates a stronger and more durable supplementary cementitious material (SCM). SDTC’s support of this project will expedite Canada's cement and concrete industry on reaching their goal of being net-zero by 2050. With the support of SDTC we are well on our way to deploying at all 16 concrete plants in Canada which would result in a 39.4MT CO2e savings. The support of SDTC means a healthier and cleaner environment for all Canadians.
