About CarbonBuilt


CarbonBuilt is building deeply decarbonized concrete manufacturing of the future. Through our proprietary low-carbon concrete technology, focus on data analytics and robotics, and active acquisition of concrete masonry plants, we are scaling solutions that dramatically reduce embodied carbon while also reducing costs. Rooted in science, CarbonBuilt was established after years of Department of Energy-backed research at UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management. CarbonBuilt showcased its technology during the five-year long COSIA NRG Carbon XPRIZE competition, in which it was awarded the Grand Prize in 2021. CarbonBuilt has raised capital from leading Investors and Venture Capital firms.


  • Our Vision - a world in which global economic prosperity is no longer a threat to the climate.
  • Our Mission - to enable concrete manufacturing to drive large-scale emissions reductions through the cost-effective use of industrial byproducts and CO₂.


CarbonBuilt’s Reversa® Binder, a patented, low-carbon alternative to cement, creates concrete with a 70–100% lower carbon footprint, reducing costs by 10–30% while meeting performance standards. Our product has been commercially available since 2023 and can be rapidly adopted by the nearly 800 concrete plants in the U.S. alone.
