NeoCarbon, a Berlin startup specializing in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, has announced a new collaboration with Carbonaide, a Finnish eco-concrete manufacturer. This alliance focuses on the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in concrete, with the aim of significantly reducing carbon emissions in the construction sector and generating high-quality emissions certificates. The first delivery of this innovative solution is scheduled for 2025.
Reducing the Carbon Impact of the Concrete Industry
NeoCarbon is dedicated to removing CO2 from the air using waste heat flows from industrial sites, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. This technology has attracted support from investors such as Speedinvest. For its part, Carbonaide focuses on producing concrete without CO emissions2using carbon reuse and storage technologies, derived from the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland.
To create a scalable value chain in carbon capture, NeoCarbon plans to combine its DAC technology with Carbonaide’s carbon storage solutions. NeoCarbon’s modular technology will enable rapid adoption of CO capture2, while Carbonaide’s solution will focus on permanently storing carbon through mineralization in concrete. Together, these companies will offer concrete manufacturers the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint.
Towards a Sustainable Future in Construction
Our goal is to meet the concrete industry’s urgent need for efficient carbon capture and storage solutions. By combining our DAC technology with Carbonaide’s expertise in CO2 capture, we aim to turn concrete production into a carbon sink.
René Haas, CEO of NeoCarbon
The collaboration with NeoCarbon brings us one step closer to transforming the concrete production process from a model based on fossil fuels to a more sustainable one. We are opening up new possibilities for carbon capture and use, paving the way to a more sustainable future in the construction industry.
Tapio Vehmas, CEO of Carbonaide
Environmental and economic benefits
The adoption of these technologies not only promises to reduce CO emissions2, but also create new economic opportunities through the generation of emissions certificates and improving efficiency in concrete production. By implementing the first phase of this collaboration in 2025, NeoCarbon and Carbonaide hope to demonstrate that it is possible to combine environmental sustainability with economic viability in the construction sector.
In summary, this collaboration represents a significant advance in the fight against climate change, offering concrete and scalable solutions for the capture and storage of CO2 in one of the most used construction materials in the world: concrete.
