Forbes 30 Under 30 Recognizes UBC Chemistry Alumna Sabrina Scott

Congratulations to Sabrina Scott, UBC Chemistry alumna, for being named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Science list!

Cement production is one of the most carbon-intensive industries, accounting for roughly 8% of global emissions. To tackle this challenge, Sabrina co-founded CURA in July 2025 with a mission to make cement manufacturing sustainable. While at the University of British Columbia, she led a team that developed electrochemical reactors capable of decarbonizing limestone—the primary source of cement-related emissions. This breakthrough technology forms the foundation of CURA’s approach. The company is now in the midst of raising a multimillion-dollar investment round to scale its impact.
