Everything on this site.
Grouped by what it is for rather than by when it was published.
The three things we do
Capital, data and alignment. Everything else on the site serves one of these.
We do three things: a deal team with capital, market data through the Concrete Terminal, and market alignment across producers, buyers and policy.
Concrete is a $600B market undergoing structural change. We built the data infrastructure to underwrite it with precision no generalist fund can match.
A digital twin of the cement-to-concrete supply chain, so the market can keep concrete's functionality, scale and price and eliminate the carbon.
Producers, buyers and policy each wait for the other two to move first. We bring all three into the same room, and then into the same contract.
Where you sit
The same three things, from the side of the market you are on.
Scaling a low-carbon material or technology from pilot to commercial deployment, with the diligence, demand and capital structure that gets it financed.
Contractors, developers and tenants navigating Buy Clean mandates and embodied carbon targets, with the supply data to back a specification.
Take control of embodied carbon across a portfolio, with plant-level supply data and the tools to specify lower-carbon concrete that is actually available.
Catalytic capital placed where it has the highest multiplier: the data, the policy groundwork and the first-loss layer commercial capital relies on.
Data and tools
The Concrete Terminal and the indices and planners built on it.
Concrete is poured within an hour of where it is mixed. Supply, carbon, price and policy, built basin by basin, with the playbooks that turn it into procurement.
CTC's proprietary cement and binder pricing benchmark, fusing independent pricing signals into a real-time cementitious materials curve.
Cement pricing across EU27 member states plus the UK, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey, with country-level detail and carbon context.
Find lower-carbon, lower-cost concrete mixes using real plant capability and material pricing.
Sell into the markets where your material has an advantage, mapped plant by plant.
Where to invest: forward concrete demand built from building permits and project pipelines.
Real-time cement and binder pricing built from independent market signals.
City-level concrete decarbonization planning grounded in local supply data.
Procurement playbooks
For agencies and owners writing concrete into a specification.
Concrete Ideas
Our thoughts on the market. Start with Paper One, or the series that fits your question.
Our thoughts on the market: what blocks low-emission projects from becoming bankable, and the contracts, data and counterparties that unlock scale.
The EAC market for cement has a handful of serious buyers, so the industry fights over how to split one slice instead of growing the pie.
Why concrete, why now, and why the gap between ambition and deployment is the defining challenge of industrial decarbonization
What It Is, How It Works, and Where It's Used
Understanding the emissions profile of cement and concrete is essential to evaluating which solutions can actually move the needle — and which cannot.
Research from Concrete Transition Capital on financing the cement and concrete transition.
FOAK projects are too risky for debt and don't generate enough return for all-equity. That financing gap is where the transition stalls.
The Building Blocks of Blended Finance for FOAK — A Primer
Why first of a kind (FOAK) low-emission cement and concrete (LECC) projects struggle with revenue visibility, how environmental attributes can create contracted revenue, and why bankability depends on BOTH commodity credibility and carbon revenue
Environmental Attribute Certificates are the key to bridging the financing gap for low-emission cement
A stackable, performance-based framework for Environmental Attribute Certificates that grows the market while rewarding deep decarbonization.
Designing the EAC market for cement to follow the REC playbook — not CDR.
Why scaling low-carbon materials requires more than good technology
Defining the instrument that bridges demand signals and bankable project finance — and why getting it right is everything
The mechanics of how contracted revenue transforms a first-of-a-kind project from unfundable to financeable
Cement and Concrete Decarbonization Demands a New Capital Stack
How corporates can catalyze a functioning financial market for low-emission cement and concrete
Why decarbonizing concrete requires system-level thinking, not product substitution — and what happens when we confuse the two
How a stackable EAC framework grows the market while rewarding deep decarbonization — without excluding any credible solution.
Why decarbonizing concrete requires local density, local analysis, and local optimization, not just national mandates — and what the Los Angeles market teaches us.
Why decarbonizing concrete requires hyper-local analysis — and what the Los Angeles market teaches us about building a regional stacking roadmap.
Why incumbents are essential partners in concrete decarbonization — and how to align their economics with climate goals
Why cost competitiveness is the first of the four conditions for cement decarbonization success
The goal is not to decarbonize by 5% or 50% — it is to decarbonize all the way by 2050. Every solution must be measured against that destination.
Why low emission cement or concrete solutions must scale under growth and time pressure as well as across diverse regional markets
How the market should test performance, protect the supply chain, and sequence adoption by application risk — starting where volume is highest and stakes are lowest
Why conventional capital markets cannot finance the transition — and what must be built to change that
Why deploying capital into cement decarbonization requires a purpose-built execution engine
Why underwriting-grade information infrastructure is the prerequisite for market formation
Bespoke financing cannot scale cement decarbonization — only market infrastructure can bridge the gap between ambition and deployment
The fundability frontier, systematic derisking, and the mechanics of unlocking debt for first-of-a-kind cement plants
From fund to market — how precedent transactions create an underwritable asset class and unlock mainstream capital
Why Concrete Transition Capital is built as a sector-specific platform focused solely on low-carbon cement and concrete
A system-informed, technically credible framework for capital allocation
How CTC Systematically Derisks First-of-a-Kind Industrial Deployment
How to unlock financing for first-of-a-kind cement plants — from catalytic capital to commercial scale
Coordinating buyers, sellers, and intermediaries to build the functioning market that cement decarbonization requires
Why decarbonizing cement and concrete requires high-resolution spatial awareness, and how the Concrete Atlas bridges the gap between macro-level climate goals and local bankability.

Company
Who we are, how to reach us, and who we are hiring.
Concrete is one of the largest unsolved climate problems hiding in plain sight. We exist to close the gap between solutions that work and solutions that scale.
One team does all three things: structures the capital, builds the Concrete Terminal, and sits in the room with producers, buyers and agencies.
Tell us where you sit and your message reaches the person who handles it. Most replies land within one business day.
Own the Concrete Terminal in production and build it with the product team. Remote, US-based, $170,000 – $240,000.
Concrete is the most underinvested climate opportunity. We do three things to change that: capital, market data, and market alignment.
