'''CarbonCure Technologies Inc.''' is a manufacturer of carbon utilization technologies that inject captured [[carbon dioxide]] into [[concrete]] where it is immediately and permanently mineralized. This carbon mineralization maintains the material's compressive strength and enables producers to use less carbon-intensive cement in their concrete mixes, reducing both cement costs and emissions. The company was founded in 2012 by Robert Niven, and the company headquarters are in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia|Halifax]], Nova Scotia.
== Technologies == CarbonCure holds more than 120 patents related to carbon mineralization and carbon dioxide storage in concrete.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Government of Canada |first=Innovation |title=Canadian Patent Database / Base de données sur les brevets canadiens |url=https://brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/cpd/eng/search/results.html?query=carboncure&start=1&num=10&type=basic_search&newSearch=0 |access-date=2022-01-12 |website=brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca |language=en}}</ref>
