MONTREAL – Montreal-based CarbiCrete has announced it has signed a licensing agreement with Canal Block, a masonry producer in Port Colborne, Ont.
CarbiCrete is a specialist in decarbonized concrete. Canal Block will begin producing CarbiCrete products at the beginning of 2025, once its plant has been outfitted with CarbiCrete’s curing system, stated a release., Canada’s innovation cluster for advanced manufacturing, will contribute $3 million toward the design, building and installation of CarbiCrete’s curing equipment into Canal Block’s concrete block-making operations.
CarbiCrete’s patented process eliminates cement-related emissions and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by replacing cement with a steel-making byproduct and mineralizing CO2 into the concrete for permanent storage. The technology is currently being deployed in Quebec by hardscape manufacturer Patio Drummond.
“We are tremendously pleased to bring our cement-free concrete technology to Ontario through Canal Block,” stated Jacob Homiller, CarbiCrete’s CEO, in a statement. “For nearly 30 years, the Bylsma family has demonstrated a commitment to manufacturing more sustainable products, proving to be an ideal partner in our effort to decarbonize the built environment.
