Cement is currently responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. Sublime Systems is commercializing breakthrough technology to produce low-carbon cement. Sublime replaces the industry's legacy fossil-fuelled kilns with an electrochemical process that makes cement at ambient temperature using renewable electricity instead of fossil fuels.
When it comes to mitigating the impacts of climate change, the benefits of preventing emissions through carbon avoidance outweigh undoing emitted CO₂.
Rapid urbanization is leading to increased demand for construction, but one core building material - cement - poses a major environmental problem.
