NeoCarbon, a leading developer of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, and Carbonaide, a pioneer in carbonization technology for the production of precast concrete, announced a partnership to efficiently capture 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 first delivery expected in 2025.

NeoCarbon's DAC technology goes hand in hand with Carbonaide's carbon capture process to create a scalable carbon capture value chain. By capturing CO2 directly from the air, NeoCarbon provides a modular approach that enables faster access to CO2. Carbonaide's permanent storage solution complements this by providing efficient carbon capture and utilization. Together, they enable concrete producers to reduce their carbon footprint by mineralizing CO2 in concrete.

Commenting on the partnership, NeoCarbon CEO René Haas said: "Together with Carbonaide, our goal is to address the urgent need for effective carbon capture solutions in the concrete industry. By combining NeoCarbon's DAC technology with Carbonaide's carbonization expertise and technology, we aim to transform concrete production into a carbon sink.”

"The cooperation with NeoCarbon allows us to move a significant step forward in transforming the fossil concrete production process to a more sustainable one. We are opening new possibilities for carbon capture and utilisation, paving the way for a more sustainable future for the construction industry," said Tapio Vehmas, CEO of Carbonaide.

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