Our Approach

To transform the concrete industry by delivering substantial carbon reductions without compromise to price, performance, or producer operations. CarbonBuilt harnesses the chemistry of diverse, high-volume industrial byproducts to deliver the performance of cement without its cost or carbon footprint. By doing so, we deliver solutions that drive significant environmental and economic impacts. 

Our History

Rooted in science, CarbonBuilt was established after years of Department of Energy-backed research at UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management. CarbonBuilt showcased its technology during the five year long COSIA NRG Carbon XPRIZE competition, in which it was awarded the Grand Prize in 2021.
