Carbon Upcycling announced its recent admission to the Portland Cement Association (PCA). This marks a significant step in the waste and carbon utilization company’s mission to enhance sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint of cement production.
“We are thrilled to have Carbon Upcycling join us as a member of the Portland Cement Association, given our shared commitment to sustainability,” said Mike Ireland, PCA president and CEO. “Their efforts are helping the cement industry increase circularity and advance the industry’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality.”
By partnering with international cement producers like CRH and Cemex, Carbon Upcycling is tackling industry-wide challenges and driving sustainability initiatives. These relationships are aimed to develop and implement technologies that significantly reduce carbon emissions in cement production.
“The most effective and credible pathway to decarbonizing the cement industry is through strategic partnerships and collaboration with long-time industry leaders in the infrastructure sector,” said Carbon Upcycling CEO Apoorv Sinha. “Joining the PCA underscores our commitment to advance sustainable practices and substantially reduce carbon emissions. We look forward to forging a low-carbon, resilient future with our fellow members.”
Carbon Upcycling is currently developing its first-of-a-kind commercial carbon capture and utilization system at Ash Grove Cement’s Mississauga operation – Canada’s largest cement plant.
