ecoLocked

ecoLocked is a startup turning captured carbon into a resource for the construction industry. We develop climate-friendly concrete by using biocarbon, a CO2-negative material made from waste biomass.

Our biocarbon admix materials allow to permanently store sequestered CO2 in buildings, reduce emissions from cement clinker production, and provide functional benefits such as pollutant absorption and better thermal insulation.

“There will be no winner-takes-all solution to decarbonize the construction sector. The complexity of this industry demands a technology stack that can be flexibly applied in each specific situation. This is why ecoLocked Materials is compatible with a broad range of other decarb technologies for concrete and we proactively work with other innovators to demonstrate joint impact and bundle resources.”

  • Low-Carbon Basic Materials

    Basic materials such as steel, cement, chemicals and lime account for almost half of Germany’s industrial emissions. This poster sets out the options for decarbonizing their production. Five cross-cutting levers for industrial decarbonization are described: direct electrification, material circularity, energy efficiency, green hydrogen and PtX, and CCU/CCS. A case study then walks through the options…

  • Carbon Capture

    This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies. CO₂ can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be used in industrial processes or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares three…

  • Hydrogen

    The potential contribution of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier to industrial decarbonization is outlined in this concise knowledge poster. It explains why hydrogen must be produced through dedicated processes and compares the main hydrogen production pathways through the commonly used color code. The poster then focuses on green hydrogen, presenting the main electrolysis technologies:…
