What does Carbon Upcycling Technologies do?

Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT) is a waste and carbon utilization company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with operations extending to Ithaca, New York. Founded in 2014, CUT focuses on converting carbon emissions and industrial waste byproducts into valuable materials, primarily for low-carbon cement production. The company aims to reduce 4 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030, equivalent to removing 93,000 gas-powered vehicles from the roads for a decade. CUT's patented technology sequesters CO2 by bonding it to industrial byproducts, producing high-performance additives for various applications, including plastics, coatings, and concrete. Their key products include CO2-derived solid nanoparticles and enhanced supplementary cementitious materials that significantly improve concrete strength and durability. The company has notable projects, such as the world's first commercial-scale plant at Cemex’s Rugby cement plant in the UK, which sequesters over 1,600 metric tons of CO2 annually. CUT collaborates with major industry players and has received recognition for its innovative solutions in carbon capture and utilization.
