💥 Paebbl just crossed an important milestone with their first ton of CO2 mineralised! 💥

🔦 Today, I feature Paebbl, a Dutch-Scandinavian carbon dioxide removal (hashtag#CDR) company permanently storing captured CO2 in zero-carbon or carbon-negative raw materials.

How does Paebbl operate?

🌬️ Paebbl takes captured CO2 (from DAC or BioCCS) and combines it with water and ground silicate rocks (first mineral: olivine) in a proprietary mineralisation process that accelerates the same processes which occurs in nature over centuries.

🪨 This mineralisation yields a decarbonised raw material with applications in essential industries, some of which have significant CO2 emissions, such as concrete, polymers, paper, and chemicals.

🏭 Paebbl’s initial focus is on construction materials with their first carbon-storing reactive fillers and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) entering the market by 2025. Paebbl is already working with early adopter customers who have ambitious decarbonisation roadmaps.

What is Paebbl’s carbon removal strategy?

📜 The permanent storage of CO2 is Paebbl’s long-term CDR strategy, established through their commitment to applications with a predicted permanence of 1,000 years. In addition, the use of Paebbl’s materials displace traditional materials and additional CO2 is avoided.

🔍 In 1m3 of concrete some 150kg of CO2 can be avoided and 50kg CO2 permanently stored through partial replacement of ordinary cement by Paebbl's carbon-storing reactive filler. Paebbl's next scale-up step is a demo plant with a CO2 capacity of 0.4-1ktpa (launch 2025), after which Paebbl will continue scaling-up to a FOAK commercial plant by 2028. By 2031, Paebbl plans to reach megaton scale capacity of decarbonised materials for the built environment.

🔒 Paebbl creates negatively embodied carbon, verified and permanently sequestered with minimal energy use.
