Sublime Systems is leading a swift and massive transition to a clean cement manufacturing future. 

Sublime’s breakthrough electrochemical process avoids the pollution caused by ordinary portland cement’s use of fossil-fueled kilns and limestone feedstock. Sublime instead extracts reactive calcium and silicates from abundant raw materials at ambient temperature, to make ASTM C1157-compliant Sublime Cement™, a 1:1 replacement for OPC in concrete. Because it does not require carbon capture, Sublime’s technology offers a clear path for cost-competitive clean cement manufacturing at scale. 

Sublime was founded at MIT in 2020 by Dr. Leah Ellis and Prof. Yet-Ming Chiang, both respected experts in materials science, electrochemical systems, and sustainability research. The company has raise funding from leading tech investors, global cement majors, and cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of Energy. 

It currently operates a Somerville, MA-based pilot plant with a >250 TPY nameplate production capacity.
