Market Primer: Carbon Capture and Utilization in Cementitious Building Materials

Concrete and cement materials have been specifically identified as building materials of interest, and meeting Canada’s climate targets will require an ‘all in’ approach from all sectors of our national economy. This Market Primer summarizes the findings of the first two phases of the overall project. The research team conducted a background review to evaluate the current status of CCU-CBM technologies in the Canadian market. A series of structured interviews were also conducted with key stakeholders to discuss their experience and to gather perspectives on current needs and evolving trends.

The goals of this Market Primer are to:

  • Provide an introduction to CCU-CBM technologies.
  • Summarize their current status in Canada.
  • Outline the potential role these technologies could play in the decarbonization
    of the building sector.
