NeoCarbon and Carbonaide partner to enable captured carbon to be stored in concrete

NeoCarbon, a leading developer of Direct AirCapture (DAC) technology, and Carbonaide, a pioneer in carbonisation technologyfor the production of precast concrete, announced a partnership to efficientlycapture CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently store it in concrete. This will significantly reduce carbon emissions in the building and construction sector.The aim is to deliver high quality carbon removal credits, with the firstdelivery expected in 2025. 

NeoCarbon's DAC technology goes hand in handwith Carbonaide's carbon capture process to create a scalable carbon capturevalue chain. By capturing CO2 directly from the air, NeoCarbon provides amodular approach that enables faster access to CO2. Carbonaide's permanentstorage solution complements this by providing efficient carbon capture andutilisation. Together, they enable concrete producers to reduce their carbonfootprint by mineralising CO2 in concrete.

Commenting on the partnership, NeoCarbon CEORené Haas said: "Together with Carbonaide, our goal is to address theurgent need for effective carbon capture solutions in the concrete industry. Bycombining NeoCarbon's DAC technology with Carbonaide's carbonisation expertiseand technology, we aim to transform concrete production into a carbon sink.” 

"The cooperation with NeoCarbon allows usto move a significant step forward in transforming the fossil concreteproduction process to a more sustainable one. We are opening new possibilitiesfor carbon capture and utilisation, paving the way for a more sustainablefuture for the construction industry," said Tapio Vehmas, CEO ofCarbonaide. 

In addition, the partnership between NeoCarbonand Carbonaide provides a valuable deployment opportunity, particularly in Germany, where concrete producers are looking for solutions to reduce theircarbon footprint. The collaboration demonstrates the power of partnerships todrive innovation and sustainability.

Carbon-negative cement factory. Get the revolutionary whitepaper for free.


To reshape the public image of the cement sector, from being a heavy polluter to pioneer of innovative sustainability practices, and ensure cement business's viability, we propose establishing Germany's first carbon-negative factory, employing a blend of point source capture and direct air capture (DAC) technologies. Therefore, we have produced a paper that outlines the challenges faced by cement manufacturers and how a combination of point source capture and DAC can alleviate them.
