## About

Based in Yorkshire, UK, and founded in 2021 by CEO Sid Pourfalah, Concrete4Change Ltd. develops technologies for CO2 mineralization into concrete, assisting manufacturers and the construction sector in achieving net-zero carbon footprints. In January 2024, Concrete4Change Ltd. raised GBP 2.5 million in venture funding co-led by investors Zacua Ventures and Counteract, with participation from another investor, Goldbeck.
 
The company offers a technology that involves incorporating a concrete additive material that acts as a carrier for CO2. The process includes utilizing recycled waste materials for the carrier, preparing the carrier material, loading it with CO2, and finally mixing it with concrete for permanent mineralization. Concrete4Change's technology boasts several benefits, such as 10 times more CO2 sequestration than existing approaches for ready-mix concrete, cost savings due to reduced cement usage, and easy integration with industry-standard processes. The carrier is made from waste materials to minimize the carbon footprint. The technology applies to various types of cement and concrete, including pre-cast and ready-mix concrete, making it globally implementable.
 
The company plans to use the January 2024 funding to expand its technologies beyond the lab setting and launch test ventures with strategic investors.
