Proven Technology to Reduce CO2 and Transform Your Business

Solidia®'s holistic platform of advanced technology both lowers emissions in the production of cement and mineralizes CO2 in the production of concrete. Together, these technological advancements reduce concrete's carbon footprint by up to 50%.

  • Potential to reduce more than 700 million tons of CO2 annually
  • Improved products and production processes
  • Three core technologies supported by our extensive patent portfolio and expertise

How Solidia Cement® Works

Solidia revolutionized cement production with a patented solution that uses the same raw materials and equipment as portland cement but with a lower proportion of limestone and lower production temperatures. This breakthrough reduces kiln CO2 emissions by 30% relative to portland cement production. Our innovative Solidia Cement hardens and gains strength through exposure to CO2 rather than water.

The Advantages of Solidia SCM™

Solidia SCM is an engineered supplementary cementitious material that can replace up to 50% of portland cement in concrete while delivering superior concrete performance. Our innovative process ensures consistent quality and material availability.

Our SCM leverages our foundational Solidia Cement technology to mineralize up to 250kg of CO2 per ton of material and reduce concrete's carbon intensity by up to 50%. The kiln flue gas can be used as the source of CO2 to carbonate Solidia Cement, enabling production at virtually any existing cement plant.

Solidia Precast Concrete Innovations

Experience the breakthrough of Solidia Concrete™ — a transformative process where Solidia Cement, mixed with aggregates, hardens through exposure to CO2. This reaction not only ensures solid, durable products but also permanently consumes CO2. Water used to mix and form concrete can be recycled since the Solidia Cement reacts with CO2 rather than water.

Products made with Solidia Concrete can be manufactured in existing precast concrete plants when retrofitted with equipment that enables the concrete to harden with CO2.

Proven In Real Industry Applications

Solidia’s advanced green technologies have been introduced in manufacturing trials at sites in North America and Europe. Our extensive testing includes 3rd party accredited concrete testing labs and industry research institutions. Products made with Solidia's technologies meet or exceed ASTM, CSA, EU standards for all required mechanical properties including compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting strength, freeze-thaw resistance, water absorption, and abrasion durability. Over 1 million square feet of precast products have been installed at customer sites.

Solidia has over 40 US patents and over 200 patents worldwide.

Our Key Applications

Ready Mix Concrete

Solidia SCM can be used as a partial replacement for portland cement in ready mix concrete applications, reducing the concrete's embodied CO2. Find consistent high-performance and reduced carbon while streamlining your supply chain.

Precast Concrete

Solidia’s technology allows precast concrete producers, when retrofitted with carbonation curing equipment, to use Solidia Cement to produce stronger, higher performing concrete products that reach full strength in less than 24 hours. Optimize production and lower your CO2 footprint with Solidia.
