Sponsor: Concrete Transition Capital

Concrete Transition Capital is a catalytic investment platform committed to decarbonizing the cement and concrete industry. To date there has been no coordinated effort to address a central barrier in scaling solutions: the lack of affordable capital and a deal team to derisk investment of innovative materials production. CTC flagship fund will deploy catalytic debt capital to crowd in additional commercial debt, support roughly $1Bn in new low emission cement and concrete facility construction and expansion by December 2028. This capital is expected to support 1.5 million tons/yr of new material production, offsetting around 1.3 million tons of CO2 annually

Sponsor: Queens Carbon

Queens Carbon is reinventing how cementitious materials are made — without combustion, without CO₂ emissions and at competitive cost. Our patented Q-System is a modular platform that uses steam pressure to convert standard raw materials into cementitious materials at less than half the temperature of the legacy process. This enables electrification, energy efficiency, and a compelling path for the industry to profitably decarbonize. Our first product, Q-SCM, is a zero-CO₂ material that replaces up to 50% of standard cement, cutting CO2 emissions in half. With Buzzi Unicem as a strategic partner, we’re piloting a 2,000 ton/year system and rapidly advancing towards commercialization.
