ecoLocked transforms buildings into carbon sinks through innovative biochar-based materials. By integrating captured carbon into high-performance concrete products, ecoLocked enables the construction sector to significantly reduce its embodied carbon footprint. Their flagship product, eco Locked Materials®, is designed to be easily incorporated into existing concrete production processes, providing a seamless solution for manufacturers looking to enhance sustainability without compromising performance.
The mission of ecoLocked is to scale carbon removal technologies globally, aiming for a substantial impact on climate change mitigation. They envision a future where every building contributes to carbon storage, helping to achieve net-zero emissions in the construction sector by 2050.
The startup addresses the pressing issue of high carbon emissions from concrete production, which is responsible for approximately 8% of global emissions. By offering a viable alternative that sequesters carbon, ecoLocked not only helps reduce the industry’s carbon footprint but also supports the broader goal of climate neutrality.
In contributing to the Circular Economy, ecoLocked promotes the use of waste biomass for biochar production, ensuring that materials are repurposed rather than discarded. This approach not only minimizes waste but also creates a sustainable cycle of resource use in construction.
With a target of achieving a CO2 impact of 1 million tons by 2040, ecoLocked is poised to make a significant environmental impact.
