Calgary-based EnviCore has secured $4.2 million in seed funding to advance its low-carbon cement technologies. The startup produces supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) from recycled and natural feedstocks, helping reduce cement’s carbon footprint by up to 30%. Investors include CSN Inova Ventures, Heidelberg Materials, and Techstars.
EnviCore plans to expand production capacity and partner with Heidelberg on a pilot SCM facility. CEO Shahrukh Shamim called the investment pivotal for scaling the technology, which offers a sustainable alternative to traditional cement. The funds will also support research, development, and business growth.
