C‑Crete Awarded Nearly $1M by U.S. Department of Energy to Expand Cement-Free Concrete Technology
September 2023, C‑Crete was awarded nearly $1 million by the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate the expansion of its cement-free binder technology. The funding aimed to support the development of regionally adaptable formulas using locally available non-carbonate rocks such as basalt, granite, and zeolite.
This award enabled C‑Crete to further its mission of making Portland cement-free concrete more accessible and scalable, helping reduce embodied carbon in construction. By expanding the company’s portfolio of compatible feedstocks, this project paved the way for broader adoption of sustainable building materials across different geographies.
