Operator

Sublime Systems develops technology to decarbonize cement, currently responsible for 8% global CO2 emissions. Our technology reduces cement’s emissions by 50-100%, while co-producing green hydrogen. We are an early-stage company spun out of MIT’s Department of Materials Science, supported by Activate Boston and Prime Coalition. We are looking for the very best people to join us in our mission to disrupt the world's biggest industrial polluter.

Sublime Systems is a technology company commercializing affordable, ultra-low-carbon cement. Sublime's breakthrough replaces the industry's legacy fossil fuel-fired kilns with an electrochemical system that operates at ambient temperature, eliminating the use of fossil fuel and the need for limestone, resulting in low-carbon, low-embodied energy cement. This technology has the potential to drive gigaton-scale CO2 reductions in an industry responsible for 8 percent of global emissions. Sublime is backed by mission-aligned investors, including The Engine, Prime Impact Fund, Energy Impact Partners, and Lowercarbon Capital. We are building a diverse and collaborative team of folks who are "amped about cement" (pun intended), who share our values (excellence, creativity, and teamwork), and our motivation to create a better world.
