Globally, the industry is <a href=\"https:\/\/gccassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GCCA-Cement-Industry-Progress-Report-202425.pdf\">responsible for an estimated 7%<\/a> of the world\u2019s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Cement\u2014the key binding ingredient in concrete\u2014is the second-most widely used material in the world after water, and in 2022, global cement manufacturing produced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1299532\/carbon-dioxide-emissions-worldwide-cement-manufacturing\/\">1.6 billion metric tonnes of CO2<\/a>. If it were a country, the concrete industry would be the world\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2024\/09\/cement-production-sustainable-concrete-co2-emissions\/\">third or fourth-largest emitter<\/a> of CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete is an essential building material in today\u2019s society: It\u2019s durable, cost-effective and widely accessible across the world. And as the global population continues to grow and urbanize, <a href=\"https:\/\/gccassociation.org\/concretefuture\/societal-demand-for-cement-and-concrete\/\">demand is forecast<\/a> to grow from 14 billion cubic metres to around 20 cubic metres over the next 25 years, which would result in an estimated additional 3.8 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the cement and concrete sector is responding: In 2021, the Global Cement and Concrete Association committed to producing <a href=\"https:\/\/gccassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GCCA-Cement-Industry-Progress-Report-202425.pdf\">net-zero concrete by 2025<\/a> through a range of technologies and policies, including the application of carbon capture technologies at an industrial scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-carbon-capture-and-utilization\">What is carbon capture and utilization?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon capture and utilization, or CCU, is the process of trapping CO2 as it\u2019s emitted from a source such as power generation or an industrial facility, and storing it to prevent it from being released into the Earth\u2019s atmosphere and contributing to global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carboncure.com\/\">CarbonCure<\/a>, a technology company based in Nova Scotia, is part of a small cohort of Canadian companies that have found a way to reduce the industry\u2019s CO2 emissions. Its innovative solution injects excess CO2 from industrial processes into concrete, replacing some of the concrete\u2019s carbon-intensive cement and helping to reduce emissions from concrete in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat carbon dioxide is permanently sequestered into the concrete,\u201d explains Jamie Rogers, senior director of carbon strategy at CarbonCure. \u201cThis allows for a reduction in the amount of cement required to achieve equivalent strength for concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since launching its carbon utilization technology in 2012, the company has developed additional technologies like a reclaimed water system, which upcycles wastewater from cement producers\u2019 processes. Today, CarbonCure\u2019s technologies are licensed to concrete producers and plants in nearly 30 countries across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur technology has reduced or removed just over 600,000 metric tons of CO2 to date, which is the equivalent of taking 140,000 gas-powered cars off the road for a year,\u201d says Rogers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/CarbonCure-valve-box-installed-at-a-batch-plant.jpeg?quality=80&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"CarbonCure valve box installed at a batch plant.\" class=\"wp-image-94715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/CarbonCure-valve-box-installed-at-a-batch-plant.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/CarbonCure-valve-box-installed-at-a-batch-plant.jpeg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/CarbonCure-valve-box-installed-at-a-batch-plant.jpeg?resize=768,576 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CarbonCure valve box installed at a batch plant.

The industry is conservative by nature. \u201cIt generally has not changed in terms of process for decades, even centuries,\u201d says Rogers. \u201cTo take a leap of faith into this low-carbon economy, we really needed to create an incentive structure for the producers that would reward them for the activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the industry, like most environmentally sustainable tech investments, there\u2019s a cost premium to retrofitting processes and systems with CCU technology. Rogers calls it the \u201cgreen premium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou need to incentivize the activity, and you need to pay for the green premium,\u201d he says. To pull in producers and help fund the transition, CarbonCure issues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/business\/right-sized-business-advice\/commercial\/carbon-credits-how-your-business-can-get-started\/\">carbon credits<\/a>:&nbsp;Tradeable certificates generated by projects that avoid, reduce or remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The revenue from the carbon credits is shared with producers, which helps to maximize the returns on initial investments in CCU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a very data-driven process\u2014you need to prove that each credit actually generated a metric ton of CO2 savings, and you need data to back that up,\u201d says Rogers. CarbonCure draws data from the concrete plants&#8217; batching software and hardware connected to its CO2 injection to verify the carbon credits. Each carbon credit represents a verified project\u2014though it\u2019s more of a portfolio of 15 to 30 producers and as many as a hundred different concrete plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve paid about US$5 million back to producers,\u201d he says. That credit revenue share is a major incentive, says Rogers, especially in an industry with already slim margins. The carbon credits also give businesses in other industries an opportunity to reduce their environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-using-carbon-credits-to-address-your-business-s-scope-3-emissions\">Using carbon credits to address your business\u2019s Scope 3 emissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just producers who have adopted CCU technology that can benefit from carbon credits. Rogers says he sees a major opportunity for CarbonCure and the CCU industry through the growing interest in reducing Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 refers to a company\u2019s emissions from upstream and downstream activities related to a product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScope 3 has been this complicated challenge for corporations trying to meet their net-zero targets,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are a hundred thousand concrete plants across the world,\u201d says Rogers. There\u2019s no illusion CarbonCure will be able to get its technology into all of them. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But CarbonCure\u2019s carbon credits can be an alternative for producers or companies outside of the sector that want to allocate a portion of their environmental sustainability investment to support other businesses as they embrace the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s growing momentum surrounding Book &amp; Claim, a concept used by the aviation industry where an airline without access to sustainable aviation fuel can \u201cbook\u201d a certain amount of fuel and \u201cclaim\u201d the benefits of it, while another airline actually uses it. The Center for Green Market Activation and the Rocky Mountain Institute in the U.S. are currently working on a similar model for the cement and concrete industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike a carbon credit, a corporation is buying a credit to pay for that green premium, but instead of it being outside of the value chain, it is directly related to the credit buyer\u2019s concrete being poured,\u201d says Rogers. \u201cIt helps focus attention on Scope 3 and embodied emissions in the built environment, bringing the concrete producer even closer to that decarbonization process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?quality=80&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Central Concrete pouring CarbonCure concrete at UC Hastings in San Francisco\" class=\"wp-image-94716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Central-Concrete-pouring-CarbonCure-concrete-at-UC-Hastings-in-San-Francisco.jpg?resize=2048,1536 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Central Concrete pouring CarbonCure concrete at UC Hastings in San Francisco.

By participating in this market today you can hedge future regulatory risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the most transparent, data-driven credit that targets industrial decarbonization,\u201d Rogers says. \u201cIf you are anywhere in that supply chain\u2014if you&#8217;re financing construction, developing buildings, if you live or work or live in a building\u2026You know? Concrete is everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decarbonizing cement and concrete isn\u2019t just about the industry, it has a reverberating impact. \u201cThe credit buyer community should want to invest their dollars into credits that are having a direct impact on the systems around them,\u201d Rogers finishes. \u201cAnd concrete is probably the most ubiquitous one in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Read more:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/business\/right-sized-business-advice\/commercial\/carbon-credits-how-your-business-can-get-started\/\">Carbon Credits: How your business can get started<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To help navigate the rapidly evolving carbon markets, RBC Capital Markets offers extensive expertise and full capabilities in emissions trading across both compliance and voluntary carbon markets.
