Role of CO2 Injection in Concrete: Cement Hydration Reaction Enhancer

CarbonCure Ready Mix technology injects CO2 into fresh concrete while it is being mixed where it mineralizes, creating calcium carbonate nano-particles. This reaction provides dual benefit to producers:

1) improving the cement hydration reaction, enabling cement reductions in concrete and

2) CO2 mineralization to permanently sequester it within the concrete nanostructure.

This enables cost savings for producers thanks to cement reduction and mix adjustment. The below white paper provides a concise description of this reaction.
