Carbonaide is a Finnish technology company that provides technology for the utilization and storage of carbon dioxide in the production of precast concrete.[1] The method is based on concrete carbon-curing research initiated in 2018 at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, with the first commercial adopter being the concrete product manufacturer Rakennusbetoni- ja Elementti Oy, based in Hollola, Finland.[2] Carbonaide's technology was awarded the "Impact Expected" prize by the European Association of Research and Technology Organizations (EARTO) at the end of 2022, the same year Carbonaide was founded.
Carbonaide's method, based on carbon curing, leverages the chemical potential of cement and other binders to store carbon dioxide as various carbonate minerals. This enables the creation of technical carbon sinks in precast concrete products when biogenic carbon dioxide is used. Company has demonstrated its technology's capability to reduce cement consumption by 40% in industrial production.[3] Technology has been also demonstrated in combination with novel binders such as stainless steel slags from Outokumpu's stainless steel factory in Tornio, Finland. In demonstation from 2022, technology enabled to replace cement fully with ferrochrome slag for chimney stone products manufactured by Schiedel.[4]
In October 2024, the company announced its first carbon removal sale, with 90 tons of carbon storage purchased by the Swiss sportswear and equipment manufacturer Mammut Sports Group.[5]
The company's investors and owners include Finnish concrete manufacturer Lakan Betoni, energy company Vantaan Energia, and VTT.[6]
