Canada: Concrete carbon capture technology producer CarbonCure Technologies has appointed Kristal Kaye as Interim CEO. Kaye previously served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer and, in that capacity, has already been deeply engaged with CarbonCure’s team, strategy and day-to-day operations. Her appointment comes as CarbonCure’s founder, Robert Niven, steps away from the CEO role. Niven will remain a strong supporter of CarbonCure, continuing to serve on the company’s Board of Directors.
Under Niven’s leadership, CarbonCure developed and commercialised the most widely-deployed carbon utilisation solution for lower-carbon concrete manufacturing. Over the past decade, CarbonCure has licensed hundreds of its CO2 injection systems to concrete producers across more than 20 countries, permanently mineralising and reducing nearly 0.6Mt of CO2.
“Everyone at CarbonCure feels deep gratitude to Rob for his pioneering carbon utilisation innovation for lower carbon concrete and his tireless dedication to CarbonCure over the past 13 years, with many years of research and development before that,” said Kaye. “Stepping into this interim role, I am eager to carry Rob’s legacy forward, and our entire team remains committed to that mission, our core values and the success of our concrete producer partners around the world.”
