CarbonBuilt

I am incredibly honored to step into the role of CEO at CarbonBuilt as we enter 2025. This year marks an exciting new chapter for our company as we accelerate our growth and scale our vision. We are building a platform of deeply decarbonized concrete manufacturing plants and forging partnerships that will transform the future of the masonry and hardscapes industry. First, I want to express my gratitude to Rahul Shendure for his leadership over the past four years. Rahul’s vision and unwavering commitment led CarbonBuilt’s transition from a university innovation, to winning the NRG Cosia Carbon XPRIZE, to full-scale commercialization. Today, we’re enabling the production of ~2,500 tons of low carbon concrete per month, and shipping to construction sites across the Central and Southeast US. We are well-positioned for significant geographic expansion, and 2025 is our year of growth and execution. With an incredible team of industry veterans, groundbreaking technology, mission-aligned capital partners, and a commitment to challenging the status quo, I am confident we will redefine what’s possible in sustainable construction. Here’s to building a future we can all be proud of.

I love a good end of year write up! Excited to share the work of so many great teams across Meta working to decarbonize concrete by: ? Optimizing construction specs ? Leveraging cement substitutes ? Investing in new, transformational technologies ? Leveraging AI models to optimize mixes ? Partnering with academia, industry, and the public sector to accelerate the development and adoption of low-carbon concrete By investing in low-carbon concrete technology, we're excited to be part of a growing effort to reduce our emissions and drive industry-wide decarbonization in the built environment. #Decarbonization #Sustainability #LowCarbonConcrete Congrats Lisa Hedstrom, AIA, LEED AP, Julie Lieb, Matt Smith, Lena Ohta, Blair Swedeen, Amruta Sudhalkar, Mike Fortier, Julius Kusuma, David Bennett, John DeAngelis and everyone else at Meta working to address emissions from our concrete! https://lnkd.in/d539RzqA

Did you know that we make 30 billion metric tons of concrete every year? ??Concrete is one of the most used materials on Earth—and one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions. But, XPRIZE alumni team CarbonBuilt is changing the game with its revolutionary solution. CarbonBuilt, one of two grand prize winners of the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, is able to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by more than 50% through its groundbreaking technology. “We were able to raise a Series A round very quickly and I think just having that validation from XPRIZE was able to convince investors that our technology was worth betting on. It kind of opened a lot of doors for us to get the funding we needed to build out our team and really commit to building a business.” - Camly Tran, Ph.D., Head of Operations at CarbonBuilt Learn more about how CarbonBuilt’s innovative, low-carbon concrete is set to reshape construction and the planet's future in this episode of XPRIZE Innovators. https://lnkd.in/gMbTj3my

It's not everyday that we get to speak with such a wonderful audience of practitioners like the one we had at the UN the other day at the Consortium for Sustainable Urbanization! We talked #sustainabledevelopment, how smart urban policy like #bluehighways instead of #highways can promote more #sustainablecities, walkability, 15-minute cities, retrofitting, #embodiedcarbon, and how -- when you must build -- #ultralowcarbonconcrete is a here and now solution. Thank you to the organizers for the opportunity, and for my fellow panelists for their wisdom, experience, and purpose. cc: Yasemin Kologlu, Alison Landry, AIA, Layth Madi, Lauren Alger, PE CarbonBuilt

Less than a week away! Excited that my friend Anneli Tostar will be joining Raja Ghawi, Vivin Hegde, Raphael Scheps and I for this important and lively discussion. #Blueprint2024 #BlueprintVegas #realestate #construction #proptech #contech #concrete #sustainability #decarbonization #ultralowcarbonconcrete
