Manufacturer of carbon utilization technologies

CarbonCure Technologies Type Private Industry Carbon Utilization Technology Founder Robert Niven Headquarters Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Website carboncure.com

**CarbonCure Technologies Inc.** is a manufacturer of carbon utilization technologies that inject captured [carbon dioxide](/source/Carbon_dioxide) into [concrete](/source/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](/source/Halifax%2C_Nova_Scotia), Nova Scotia.

## Technologies

CarbonCure holds more than 120 patents related to carbon mineralization and carbon dioxide storage in concrete.[1]

Projects that have been built with concrete using CarbonCure's technologies include [Amazon HQ2](/source/Amazon_HQ2) in Arlington, Virginia, General Motors [Spring Hill Manufacturing](/source/Spring_Hill_Manufacturing) Plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee and [1072 West Peachtree Street](/source/1072_West_Peachtree_Street) in Atlanta, Georgia.[2][3][4]

## Funding
