About
Carbon Re is an industrial AI company focused on reducing carbon emissions from energy-intensive manufacturing processes, particularly in cement production. Founded in 2021 as a joint spin-out from Cambridge University and University College London, the company aims to significantly lower global carbon emissions by utilizing advanced artificial intelligence and energy efficiency techniques. The flagship product, Delta Zero Cement, is an AI-powered software platform that optimizes the pyroprocess stage of cement manufacturing. It identifies opportunities for improvement and autonomously controls plant operations, leading to a reduction in fuel-derived carbon emissions by up to 5% per plant annually. Carbon Re's technology has the potential to cut emissions by up to 20% while also saving costs for manufacturers. The company is expanding its focus to include steel and glass manufacturing, addressing sectors that contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions.
