@robniven.bsky.social
Founder & Board member at @carboncure.bsky.social. On a mission to transform #Concrete from a #Climate challenge into a global #CarbonUtilization solution. Love to climb & surf kayak.
After two decades leading this company that I founded and love so much, I am stepping away from day-to-day leadership at CarbonCure but continuing to support its mission on our Board. And I have full confidence that CarbonCure will thrive and grow even stronger under Interim CEO Kristal Kaye.
Today, #CarbonCure named Kristal Kaye as Interim Chief Executive Officer. This comes as Rob Niven transitions from the CEO role to our Board.

Rob founded the company in 2012 and leaves a legacy of 600,000 metric tons of CO2 savings to date!

#Concrete is essential—but also carbon-intensive. We must rethink and reduce cement. At #CarbonCure, we inject CO₂ into concrete where it’s permanently stored & emissions are cut.

We're grateful that the #XPRIZE competition is highlighting #CarbonCure's proven solution to permanently remove CO₂ from the atmosphere & embed it in concrete, transforming concrete plants into factories for #CarbonRemoval while unlocking embodied CO2 reductions in each truckload of concrete.
What if we could take CO2 directly out of the air to stabilize our climate? 🌎 #XPRIZECarbonRemoval finalists Airhive, Heirloom, Octavia, Cella, Project Hajar (44.01 + Aircapture), and Skyrenu are developing solutions that can do exactly that. Learn more here: youtu.be/nwj-uR-DEJI

Inject CO₂ into concrete? Permanent. Verified. Our latest study shows mineralization cuts cement, cuts #EmbodiedCarbon & stores captured CO₂ for centuries—no trade-offs. #CarbonCure is proud to deliver innovation with integrity and impact.

Here’s something you don’t see much these days: A resounding 350-73 vote in the U.S. House for legislation that advances #Sustainability and #Innovation.
I am pleased that my & Rep. Max Miller's bill, the IMPACT Act, passed through the House today. This bipartisan bill will take significant strides in reducing harmful emissions & spur U.S.-led innovation in the manufacturing of cement, concrete, & asphalt.

The perfect #Climate solution doesn’t exist, but that’s no excuse to wait.

Science Based Targets (SBTi) just released an updated Corporate #NetZero Standard for public consultation, acknowledging what many companies already know: Decarbonizing supply chains—especially #Scope3—is hard.

Carbonation confusion? Let's clear it up.

Our new blog post "Razing a Common Misunderstanding" breaks down the differences between early-age & atmospheric carbonation. Spoiler alert: No, injecting CO2 in concrete doesn't just "speed up" a natural process:

Wow!! Ozinga has produced 1M truckloads of #CarbonCure concrete! 🤯 That's unlocked 78,000+ metric tons of CO2 savings to date, like taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for a year! 🚗💨
