Podcast: Why Amazon And Bill Gates Are Investing In Dartmouth-Based CarbonCure
Jennifer Wagner is the president of CarbonCure, the Dartmouth-based company on a mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry. It has developed a system to inject carbon dioxide into the mixing process. The CO2 is converted into a mineral, making the concrete stronger and reducing carbon emissions.
This innovation has captured the attention of global corporate giants. Through venture capital funds, CarbonCure has received investments from Amazon, Microsoft, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg. Shopify is buying carbon offsets from the company as part of its sustainability program. And Amazon is also a CarbonCure customer, using the technology in the construction of its new buildings.
