Calgary-based Carbon Upcycling is at the forefront of circular decarbonization solutions for hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, and mining.
In 2023, the company secured a $34 million Series A funding round co-led by BDC Capital’s Climate Tech Fund, facilitating the deployment of multiple commercial projects, including two integrated directly at cement plants.
The company’s innovative technology captures CO₂ emissions from industrial byproducts, transforming them into sustainable materials that can replace carbon-intensive cement. This process not only sequesters CO₂ but also contributes to the development of resilient, circular supply chains.
In 2024, Carbon Upcycling delivered 200 tonnes of CO₂-enhanced fly ash to BURNCO Rock Products, marking a significant milestone in deploying low-carbon concrete in Calgary. This initiative was supported by a $4.4 million Emissions Reduction Alberta Circular Economy Grant, aiming to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact.
The company’s achievements have garnered significant recognition. In June 2024, Carbon Upcycling was the only Canadian startup named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, highlighting its role in developing clean energy solutions. Additionally, in July 2024, the company achieved B Corporation certification, underscoring its commitment to meeting rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
As part of its expansion, Carbon Upcycling is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Project Engineer to join their Calgary team. This role involves managing engineering projects from conception to completion, ensuring technical accuracy, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical, organizational, and communication skills, along with experience in project management and field operations.
With a vision to become the most impactful carbon-to-value company of this decade, Carbon Upcycling continues to expand its technology’s versatility and scalability, aiming to provide cost-effective decarbonization solutions without a green premium.
