Sublime Systems produces low-carbon cement using an electrified manufacturing process. The cement performs like traditional building material but with reduced carbon emissions.

Sublime Systems

Sublime is developing a breakthrough process to make low-carbon cement. The technology replaces the industry's legacy fossil-fuel-intensive thermal calciner process with an electrochemical process that produces low-carbon cement at ambient temperatures with renewable electricity. Sublime was started in 2020, as a spin-out of Yet-Ming Chiang's lab at MIT (Form Energy, A123, American Superconductor, 24M, Desktop Metals).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s  DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has selected Sublime Systems to receive an $87 million investment as part of the single largest industrial decarbonization effort in U.S. history!! Our project will play an important role in decarbonizing the cement sector by accelerating our true-zero manufacturing technology to first commercial scale in Holyoke, Mass., which was once known as the "Paper City of the World." 

The DoE is playing an admirable role in the decarbonization of heavy industry, with catalytic funding that allows companies like us to move faster than would have otherwise been possible and deploy our carbon avoidance technology with the urgency needed to meet the world’s net-zero-by-2050 goals.  

While scaling the fossil-fuel-free technology to produce the cement of our post-carbon future, we are excited to be simultaneously strengthening the American manufacturing base and bringing great jobs to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where we got our start. We are proudly partnering with the United Steelworkers (USW) — the single largest industrial union in North America — to support our future employees’ right to organize and to train the workforce needed for our electrochemical cement manufacturing. The City of Holyoke and Mayor Joshua A. Garcia  have been so forward thinking in welcoming us and embracing their role in the new clean manufacturing era. The clean transition can be a just transition — and we are just getting started.  

Together, with our 33 fellow selectees, we’ll: 

🏗️🌎Transform the industrial sector with new emissions-slashing technologies. 
🇺🇸📈Strengthen American manufacturing competitiveness.  
👷🦺Create and maintain good-paying jobs.

We recently welcomed NBC Boston Stations to our Somerville, MA-based pilot lab, to discuss our true-zero approach for manufacturing cement, how we test our material to ensure it performs the way the construction industry needs it to, how our forthcoming Holyoke, MA plant will help us scale our technology across the globe,  and much more! Great to see our partners Yanni Tsipis WS Development featured at the site of our first commercial project, too!

Holyoke, MA, the site of our forthcoming first commercial manufacturing facility, is home to the largest Puerto Rican population per capita in the U.S. outside of Puerto Rico. The community hosts an annual Fiestas de Patronales de Holyoke to celebrate this heritage, and our team (Patrick Beaudry, Andrés López, EIT, Becky Gallagher, Kelly Lem, Raul Castillo Castro) had the pleasure of attending it last week and weekend for the second year in a row. 

We answered questions about our build out plans there, got to know our future neighbors a bit better, and happily gave away many coqui figurines made out of Sublime Cement™. Thank you to our community for being wonderful hosts as always — we are excited to #KeepBuilding with you all in Holyoke!

"More American jobs, more American innovation, it's a no brainer," says our VP of policy & BD Joe Hicken about the introduction of the second bipartisan bill introduced to accelerate low-carbon cement, concrete, and asphalt. 

We'll say it again: public sector support for low-carbon cement means we can deploy twice as fast and address the climate crisis with the urgency it demands. All while strengthening American manufacturing, jobs, and innovation. We applaud U.S. Representatives Valerie Foushee and Max Miller for introducing this legislation in the House, complementing the bipartisan Concrete & Asphalt Innovation Act introduced earlier in the Senate by Senators Thom Tillis and Christopher Coons. 

These bills strengthen R&D and collaboration across federal and state agencies to accelerate low-carbon building materials, fund grants for purchase at the state DOT level, and enable agencies to secure low-carbon materials in advance, unleashing critical buyer signals to the broader market. 

We are grateful for the collaboration between lawmakers, innovators, and industrial decarbonization thought leaders in advancing these bills, including Decarbonized Cement & Concrete Alliance, ClearPath, Clean Air Task Force, Sierra Club, and World Resources Institute.
