C-Crete Featured in Scientific American for Leading the Charge in Climate-Friendly Concrete
July 2024, C-Crete is honored to be featured in Scientific American in an article exploring the future of climate-friendly concrete and its role in decarbonizing the built environment.
The piece, written by Francisco Camacho in collaboration with POLITICO, highlights the urgency of transforming a traditionally carbon-intensive industry – and the promise that C-Crete’s cement-free concrete offers as a scalable, cost-competitive solution.
“Their hearts are in the right place. Their economic eye is in the right place,” said Dr. Jeff Bullard, a former colleague of C-Crete founder Dr. Rouzbeh Savary at NIST and Texas A&M University. “But a lot of times the construction industry is very resistant to this kind of stuff.”
That resistance is exactly the kind of inertia C-Crete was built to overcome. By developing high-performance, Portland cement-free concrete that performs on par with conventional mixes – and doing so without a “green premium” – C-Crete is working to rewrite the construction playbook from the ground up.
We thank Scientific American, POLITICO, and the many collaborators and researchers who continue to push this critical conversation forward.
