Interview with ASCE: C‑Crete on the Future of Low‑Carbon Cement
October 2023,C‑Crete Technologies was featured in Civil Engineering magazine, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), in an article exploring whether low‑ to no‑carbon cement will shape the future of construction.
In the interview, founder and president Dr. Rouzbeh Savary discussed how C‑Crete’s Portland cement‑free concrete – placed in the foundations and shear walls of a historic retrofit project in Seattle – demonstrated exceptional flowability and pumpability while achieving strength comparable to conventional concrete. It was highlighted as the first pour of cement‑free concrete in a U.S. commercial building – a milestone in sustainable infrastructure development.
Dr. Savary also emphasized the core chemistry behind C‑Crete, explaining how replacing Portland cement – which is responsible for about 8% of global CO₂ emissions – with abundant non‑carbonate minerals can eliminate nearly one ton of CO₂ emissions per ton of binder used.
This feature underscores C‑Crete’s commitment to advancing a high-performance, scalable and economically viable cement alternative – reinforcing the company’s leadership in reshaping the concrete industry for the decarbonization age.
