Sublime Systems produces low-carbon cement aimed at reducing the environmental impact of traditional cement manufacturing. Their unique process eliminates the need for a kiln, which is typically the most energy-intensive part of cement production. The low-carbon cement they offer performs similarly to conventional cement but with significantly lower CO2 emissions, making it appealing to various stakeholders in the construction industry, including infrastructure owners, engineers, and contractors. Unlike competitors, Sublime Systems focuses on sustainability without sacrificing performance, and they sell their product by the metric ton for large-scale projects. Their goal is to commercialize this low-carbon cement and work towards achieving zero emissions in the future.
