Our mission & impact
Transform captured carbon from biomass residues into functional building materials and support climate-friendly construction worldwide
We want to create a world where the construction sector actively contributes to mitigating climate change. By embedding stable, sequestered carbon into concrete, ecoLocked transforms one of the world’s most widely used materials from an emissions driver into a long-term carbon sink.

Why Carbon Removal
& Storage matters
Carbon dioxide removal plays an indispensable role for combating climate change. It helps compensate for the slow pace of global emission reductions, both historically and for ongoing residual emissions. By 2050, the IPCC estimates that at least 10 Gigatons of CO2 need to be removed and stored every year.
Scaling up carbon removal requires storage solutions that are abundant, secure, verifiable, and keep the carbon locked away for centuries ("permanence"). Today, truly durable carbon storage remains scarce. Geological sites are unlikely to provide for 10 Gt of more per year.
At the same time, effective financing is needed to fund the capture, conversion and storage processes. The higher the economic value that can be generated from the utilization of captured carbon, the easier funding becomes.
At ecoLocked, we are convinced that the built environment can be the key missing piece to solving this challenge.
Carbon removal and concrete: Proven and effective
onstruction materials are produced at global scale, embedded into long-lived infrastructure, and subject to rigorous standards and documentation—making them ideally suited for durable carbon storage.
Scientific evidence shows that producing stable carbon from biomass residues, incorporating it into building materials, and ensuring secure storage delivers real additionality - provided the biomass would otherwise release CO₂ through combustion or decomposition within a relevant timeframe.
This approach aligns climate impact with real-world demand, enabling permanent CO₂ removal as part of everyday construction rather than as a separate system. Furthermore, it
Replaces emission-intensive materials such as cement
Reduces damage to ecosystems from the extraction of resources like sand
Creates new income streams for biowaste owners

Insetting
To scale CDR effectively, corporate investments are needed both in carbon insetting (capturing & storing carbon within one's own value chain) and carbon offsetting. Insetting can involve funding carbon storage directly through local projects, such as corporate or public construction projects.
We support a clear hierarchy: First reduce emissions, then integrate CDR into value chains through insetting, and finally offset what cannot be avoided.
Our climate impact manifesto
We hold ourselves accountable for our climate impact along the entire value chain. We ensure feedstock sustainability and apply the “do no harm” principle, and we conduct cradle-to-grave lifecycle assessments for every claimed impact. We work with independent certification bodies to verify these assessments and prevent any double-counting, and we price negative-emission products responsibly to avoid creating disincentives for CO₂ reduction. We also monitor carbon permanence throughout the lifetime of each building.
Climate action is both a responsibility and an opportunity to build a better future. We invite businesses, communities, and individuals to join us in creating carbon sinks. Together, we can transform the built environment into a powerful tool for climate resilience.
Additionality
We use biomass that would otherwise emit CO₂ without our intervention
Insetting
We embed carbon removal within supply chains, turning climate action into core business value

Verification
All impacts are third-party certified and fully traceable
Co-benefits
We support nature and local incomes while storing carbon
