The Montreal-based company’s technology reduces embodied carbon in concrete through emissions avoidance and carbon removal.
CarbiCrete announced that it has entered into an agreement with Lafarge Canada for the processing of steel slag, the key material in its carbon-negative concrete block technology.
The Lafarge team will process the material, a steel-making byproduct which often goes to landfills, at its St. Constant – Montreal East manufacturing facility.
CarbiCrete’s patented slag-based process involves curing concrete blocks with carbon dioxide, which is mineralized and permanently removed from the atmosphere.
The company’s technology is currently being used by Canadian hardscape manufacturer Patio Drummond to produce carbon-negative blocks in Drummondville, Quebec.
With a shared commitment to sustainability and innovative construction solutions, CarbiCrete and Lafarge aim to re-shape the construction industry by reducing embodied carbon in the built environment through the production and use of decarbonized concrete.
