We are thrilled to announce that we have joined the Portland Cement Association (PCA), the premier industry association for #cement manufacturers and those that support them. This partnership is a major step forward in Carbon Upcycling’s mission to reduce the carbon intensity of cement production and promote industrial circularity. The most effective and credible pathway to decarbonizing the cement industry is working alongside established leaders in the infrastructure sector. Joining the PCA demonstrates our commitment to advancing sustainable practices together to build the low-carbon future of tomorrow. Through our carbon capture and utilization technology, we provide a local, low-energy solution to carbon sequestration and low-carbon cement production by upcycling CO2 emissions and industrial waste materials into high-performance alternatives to cement.
