CURA
Electrifies limestone into lime and pure CO₂ to produce low-carbon, supply-chain-ready cement
About CURA
CURA (CURA Climate Inc.) is a Canadian cleantech company founded in 2025 that electrifies the limestone-decomposition step in cement and lime production, replacing high-temperature fossil combustion with an electrochemical CURALYTE process that yields a low-carbon calcium product and a concentrated CO₂ stream. The technology is designed to retrofit existing cement plants and integrates with industry-standard Portland cement feedstocks. CURA targets emissions cuts of up to about 85% versus conventional kilns and has MOUs with partners including ACCIONA, Aecon and Titan Cement. In September 2026 the company raised $10 million led by Zacua Ventures, with participation from Sandpiper Ventures, Amplify Capital, Vantage Futures, UCeed, Mount Rundle Club and angels, to build a 100-tonne-per-year pilot plant and engineer a ~30,000-tonne commercial demonstration facility in Alberta.
