To reach the climate goals set out in the Paris agreement, the world needs to embrace all the climate tools that are available today—while developing and scaling new strategies for the future. 

At CarbonCure Technologies, we’re committed to the goal of keeping warming below 1.5℃ to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. That means not only continuously innovating, deploying and scaling our carbon reduction and removal technologies for concrete producers—but also taking responsibility for our own emissions.

To tackle our CO₂ impact, we need to measure it first. We regularly review our energy usage, business travel and other sources of unavoidable operational carbon emissions, then identify ways to counterbalance them, using The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting to inform our approach. 

These principles provide a framework for organizations seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. They recommend that organizations reduce their own emissions to the greatest extent possible, and—when no further reduction is available—purchase carbon credits to offset any remaining emissions. The Oxford principles recommend that credit buyers support projects that permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere, similar to how the CO₂ mineralized in CarbonCure’s concrete stays locked away for millennia. Furthermore, creating demand for new carbon removal solutions helps grow the voluntary carbon market and scale the CDR sector.

CarbonCure purchases carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits through the carbon credit platform Patch to offset these emissions. Patch offers a portfolio of credits from a variety of high-quality carbon removal pathways.
