What do we do

CURA is a Canadian climatetech company decarbonizing the world’s most carbon-intensive material — cement. Spun out of the University of British Columbia, CURA has developed a patented electrochemical process that uses renewable electricity to split limestone into lime and pure CO₂, enabling up to 85% emissions reduction compared to traditional kilns. Powered by its proprietary redox mediator technology, CURALYTE™, the process produces net-zero lime and cement precursors without combustion, eliminating fossil fuels and capturing CO₂ at point-source purity. CURA’s modular system is designed as a drop-in retrofit for existing cement and lime plants, offering a low-footprint, electrified pathway to decarbonize heavy industry. Led by a world-class founding team of engineers and scientists, CURA is building the foundation for a cleaner, circular industrial future — cement, reimagined for the climate era.
