Terra CO2 Technology

Terra CO2 Technology based in Golden, Colorado, is a pioneering industrial startup with a mission to Decarbonize Concrete by Replacing Cement. Their engineered OPUS SCM and SCM+ products serve as direct replacements for fly ash, delivering a substantial 70% reduction in CO2 emissions for every ton of Portland cement displaced. With the global cement industry responsible for 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions, Terra CO2's solution is of immense significance. OPUS products are crafted from abundant, inexpensive, climate-friendly feedstocks, and they replace up to 40% of cement in concrete with supplementary and alternative cementitious materials. This provides a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly alternative without compromising performance properties. Notably, the use of abundantly available silicate rocks from existing aggregate mines near major markets grants Terra CO2 a significant infrastructure advantage, facilitating scalability and cost-effectiveness. Having been founded in 2012, Terra CO2 Technology operates within the industrial and construction sectors and has recently secured a notable $46.00M Series A investment on 12 July 2022. The investment was led by Creative Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, LENx, and Rio Tinto, marking a pivotal moment in the company's trajectory.
