Material Evolution’s Post

Promoting circularity and decarbonization is key to boosting the building of today and tomorrow. Almost 96% of our concrete is manufactured with Susterra cement, which has a lower carbon footprint, reducing its CO2 emissions by up to 25% compared to products manufactured with CEM I 52.5 R reference cement in 2020. In addition, we also incorporate in the manufacturing process the maximum amount of recycled aggregates allowed by current law, giving a second life to construction materials. With Susterra, we build the present. We shape the future. #Molins #Susterra #Sustainability #BuildingPresent #ShapingFuture

Carbonaide, a Finnish startup specializing in carbon-negative concrete, is making significant progress in CO₂ capture and utilization. In a recent initiative, Carbonaide announced plans to mineralize 90 tonnes of CO₂ by the end of 2024, using captured CO₂ from waste-to-energy plants and storing it permanently in concrete. In 2023, Carbonaide built the world’s first industrial pilot line for carbon-negative concrete in Hollola, Lahti Region. Their technology addresses the 8% of global CO₂ emissions from the concrete industry, paving the way for industrial-scale decarbonization. With partners like ARC, Mammut, Bofort, and Klimate.co, this initiative showcases the potential of CO₂ storage through innovative collaboration.

The project offers cross-sector business opportunities, promotes bio-circular economy symbioses, and helps local businesses expand internationally. It is funded by the Sustainable Growth and Vitality Fund (AKKE).

Excited to be featured in The Cool Down’s article following Carbonaide’s progress in commercializing our technology to transform the built environment from a carbon source to a carbon sink. 🌍 Our carbon curing technology addresses the biggest emission source for concrete production - cement - responsible for almost the entire emissions from concrete production and half of the production costs. We help concrete manufacturers reduce cement and replace it with CO2. In the past year, we raised 1.8m EUR, reached TRL9, and launched our industrial pilot in Finland. The pilot is continuously operated since this spring and the first low-carbon concrete products utilizing our technology hit the Finnish market last month. The next goals are to commercialize the technology and start large-scale industry decarbonization.

Congratulations to Cocoon on their $5.4M pre-seed funding! Eliot Brooks, William Knapp, and Freddie Scott are an example of the kind of GSD founders we love. In just 15 months, they've developed a scalable solution to advance the decarbonization of steel and concrete. Their modular units fit seamlessly into existing electric steel plants to turn e-slag from an unusable byproduct into a green alternative for cement. With a focus on scalability, they aim to get a unit into every electric steel plant within the next ten years. Why is this important? 🧐 Global construction is booming. The next 40 years will be like building a new New York City every month. Without intervention, steel and cement, which already contribute 14-15% of global CO2 emissions, could skyrocket emissions. As steelmakers electrify, the concrete industry has been left without access to the slag material it relies on as a lower carbon replacement for cement. Now, Cocoon re-links these two industries, allowing them to decarbonize faster together. Concrete producers gain access to the low-carbon material they need while electric steelmakers get a new revenue stream. ✅ The materials needed already exist ✅ The logistic networks are established ✅ There's growing customer demand With the core technology proven, the next step is de-risking at pilot scale. Cocoon Carbon's journey is just beginning, and we're excited to be along for the ride as they build for gigascale impact.

When it comes to decarbonising the concrete industry, there is no doubting the pivotal role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The technology is estimated to account for 60% of carbon savings in the UK alone by 2050, according to Mineral Products Association’s (MPA) decarbonisation roadmap. Startups and scientists all over the world are at different stages of developing technologies aimed at storing and locking in carbon. But rather than a startup, it is a century-old company paving the way for concrete decarbonisation with a roadmap focused on CCS. Recently launching the world’s first carbon captured net-zero cement, and currently building the world’s first industrial-scale carbon capture facility at a cement plant – Heidelberg Materials is taking a pioneering role in the reduction of CO2 emissions. “Carbon capture and storage is a breakthrough technology for the building materials industry and we are frontrunners in deploying it at scale,” says CEO Dr. Dominik von Achten. “We have the ambition, the speed, the knowledge, the technologies, and the partners to lead the necessary process of transformation in our sector." #construction #netzero #sustainability #carboncapture

"CarbonCure uses a technology that injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete, which is mineralised and permanently stored, and which enables concrete producers to reduce cement usage while maintaining strength. The solution integrates into existing concrete plant operations, allowing for both environmental benefits via a reduced CO₂ footprint and cost savings through reduced cement consumption, according to the company." As Global Cement reports, CarbonCure’s technologies enable concrete producers to gain a competitive advantage and grow their businesses with high-performing, adjusted concrete—diversifying revenue streams and tapping into the surging demand for sustainable building materials.
