“The financial backing of this special syndicate of investors is an exciting endorsement of CarbonCure as a go-to solution for low embodied carbon concrete, a leader in carbon removal technologies and a provider of the highest quality carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market,” said CarbonCure Chair and CEO Robert Niven.

Blue Earth Capital is a mission-driven, global investment firm. It is an advocate for sustainability through its growth investments, supporting companies that have the potential to deliver measurable impact alongside attractive financial returns. Via its Climate Growth Strategy, Blue Earth Capital provides equity capital to help businesses scale, focusing on companies that offer products and services to facilitate the global energy transition as well as decarbonising key economic sectors including large scale production and consumption.

“Blue Earth Capital seeks to address pressing environmental and social challenges globally. To achieve this and as part of our Climate Growth Strategy, we look to support promising technologies and companies enabling the redesign or supplementation of major industrial processes by using lower carbon-intensive materials and/or enabling raw materials to be reused. CarbonCure’s technologies achieve both, on the one hand enabling concrete production with less carbon-intensive cement and on the other creating less solid waste and using less fresh water. Solutions like these are urgently needed to help meet global climate goals,” said Kayode Akinola, Head of Private Equity at Blue Earth Capital.

CarbonCure’s technologies have already been used to produce nearly five million truckloads of lower carbon concrete, saving about 290,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to taking 64,000 gas-powered cars off the road for a year.
