2024 Reflections and Bold Strides into the Future

In 2024, C-Crete redefined what’s possible in concrete innovation. From New York to San Francisco, we shattered records and challenged norms by commercializing cement-free, CO₂-free concrete technologies at scale. With more than 3,000 tons poured across North America, our materials delivered unprecedented performance – with ultra-low carbon.

  • Introduced the world’s first granite-based concrete, free of Portland cement and its CO2 emissions, in a supertall building in Manhattan.
  • Introduced the world’s first basalt-based concrete, free of Portland cement and its CO2 emissions, in a commercial building in Seattle.
  • Introduced the world’s first concrete representing the Earth’s natural color palette.
  • Paved the world’s first major airport, San Francisco International Airport,with cement-free concrete – a key milestone since the invention of the airplane.
  • Paved a section of Highway I-94 in Minnesota with cement-free concrete, challenging the 200-year dominance of Portland cement as the backbone of our infrastructure.
  • Poured over 3,000 tons of cement-free concrete across multiple locations including CA, WA, AZ, TX, NYC, MN, MD, and Canada, shaking the foundation of the once-untouchable empire of Portland cement.
  • Met numerous industry standards related to the fresh and hardened properties of C-Crete (mechanics and durability), followed by 3rd party verifications and collection of field data to build historical records.
  • Received 3 prestigious awards in the construction community:
    • i) Selected by Engineering News-Record as one of the Top 2023 Visionaries, making the path to decarbonization easier,
    • ii) Won Build Better Innovation Challenge by Elemental Impact,
    • iii) Won 2024 Concrete Innovation Award by the US National Ready Mix Concrete Association.
  • Awarded $10.4M by the California Energy Commission and US Department of Energy to operate at a larger scale.
  • Generated 15X more commercial revenue than in 2023 by selling our product at an equivalent price to conventional products (no green premium).
