Concrete is responsible for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions, yet it remains one of the most widely used materials in the world.

As demand for construction and infrastructure continues to grow, the challenge is not simply whether the industry needs alternatives. It is how those alternatives can scale without disrupting existing supply chains, manufacturing processes or construction practices.

At Ureaka, we are developing a carbon-negative cement replacement designed to:

• permanently lock away CO₂
• use abundant mineral feedstocks, including waste materials
• work within existing cement, concrete and construction supply chains

Our latest video gives a high-level overview of what we are building, why it matters and how Ureaka’s approach could support the next generation of lower-carbon construction materials.

The team is now working with partners across construction, materials and carbon capture to move from lab-scale development towards real-world deployment.

We are particularly interested in speaking with organisations working across cement, concrete, construction, infrastructure and CO₂ capture or utilisation.
