Now, the site is purportedly the world\u2019s biggest plant capable of continuously mineralising CO2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl said the plant was completed in \u201crecord time\u201d with the help of Dutch engineering companies Spie and Vicoma. The project also received an undisclosed financial investment from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andreas Saari, co-CEO and co-founder of Paebbl, said the milestone brings the Dutch-Nordic startup \u201cone step closer\u201d to bringing high-performance materials and climate impact together \u201con a scale that really matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<p class=\"ica-text__title\">From Shark Tank to Tinder Swindler<\/p>\n<p>TNW Conference 2025 combines the latest breakthroughs in tech, the startup ecosystem &amp; enterprise innovation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saari, the former CEO of Slush, co-founded Paebbl in 2021 alongside <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his former Northzone partner Marta Sj\u00f6gren, early Klarna investor Jane Walerud, and Dutch scientist Pol Knops.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Paebbls_technology_mineralise_CO2\"><\/span>How does Paebbl\u2019s technology mineralise CO2?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl\u2019s technology artificially accelerates the slow, natural process of carbon mineralisation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl feeds crushed olivine rock and CO2 captured from heavy industry into its machine, where it undergoes enhanced mineralisation. The CO2 turns into CO3 (carbon trioxide) and binds to the olivine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For every ton of CO2 captured, it produces about three tons of powder, the scientific name for which is \u201csilicon-rich\u201d magnesium carbonate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This powder feels like a soft, fine dust and is grey with a tinge of green from the olivine it\u2019s made from. Around half of the emissions from cement are produced when limestone is heated to produce lime. Paebbl\u2019s powder can replace lime and other additives in substances like wall filler, turning buildings into carbon sinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl is one of an emerging cohort of carbon removal startups looking to capture CO2 and use it as a resource to make new, cleaner products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach differs from the more established carbon capture and storage (CCS) championed by the oil and gas industry, where carbon is captured at source and buried underground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In October, Paebbl secured <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$25mn from the likes of Amazon and German cement industry giants Holcim and Goldbeck, bringing its total raised to $38mn, according to Dealroom data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl aims to build a commercial-scale plant in 2027. While the company hasn\u2019t yet disclosed the location of this facility, Marta previously told TNW that they will focus on setting up factories in areas with \u201chigh demand for end products (building material), nearby feedstock supply (CO2 and olivine rock)\u201d, and access to renewable energy. In Europe, the Nordics, Spain, and Portugal stand out in this respect.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paebbl aims to bring 1 million tons of its product to the market by 2030. The startup plans to make money by selling the rock powder itself and through providing carbon removal credits to companies looking to offset their emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"article-main-content\" class=\"c-richText c-richText--large\">\n<p><em>Sustainability will be a hot topic at<span>\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/41IbD3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span>TNW Conference<\/span><\/a><span>, which takes place on June 19-20 in Amsterdam.
