MISSISSAUGA — Carbon Upcycling Technologies and Ash Grove, a cement manufacturer, announce that they have broke ground on Carbon 1 Mississauga – a commercial carbon capture and utilization facility at Ash Grove’s cement plant in Mississauga, Ontario.The project will use Carbon Upcycling’s patented technology to permanently sequester CO₂ from the cement kiln and utilize it to transform locally produced industrial byproducts into low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Once operational in 2026, the facility will reportedly have the capacity to produce up to 30,000 tonnes of SCMs annually.Carbon Upcycling Technologies says that the Carbon 1 Mississauga project has been awarded up to $10 million in federal funding through three key Canadian programs. Carbon 1 Mississauga is supported by Next Generation Manufacturing’s Sustainable Manufacturing Program, the Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Low-Carbon Economy Fund and is receiving advisory services and funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).“Clean technology, including carbon capture, will play an integral role in our efforts to decarbonize. Projects such as this one present significant economic opportunity for Canadian industry in clean technology, clean energy and decarbonization. We will continue to work with partners across sectors to accelerate the adoption of this kind of technology and ensure Canada is a global leader in carbon capture investments,” said Julie Dabrusin, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada.“Carbon 1 Mississauga is a milestone in our journey to build world-leading, domestic supply chains in North America. It will stand as a testament to the shared commitment of our team, our partners at CRH and Ash Grove, and the local community who share our vision for a resilient, clean tomorrow. With this project we’re setting the precedent for a new way forward. One that aligns community, industry and climate, so that we can build local, build better, and most importantly, build today,” said Apoorv Sinha, CEO of Carbon Upcycling. (ICE TORONTO)
