C-Crete, a startup from the Bay Area, has pioneered a near-zero-emissions concrete material, recently applied in projects like Interstate 94 repaving and San Francisco International Airport. Traditional cement production contributes significantly to global emissions due to limestone heating processes. C-Crete's innovative approach eliminates CO2 by using alternative rock sources, such as granite, and hinges on cost-competitive performance. The movement towards sustainable cement has gained traction with various startups exploring alternative materials, indicating a growing trend to mitigate construction's environmental impact.
We're making binders that are the same cost, same performance, and no CO2.
Typical Portland cement is a big polluter for two reasons. First, it's made by heating up limestone, which releases CO2.
