In collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Capgemini<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bouygues.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bouygues<\/a>, the innovation challenge was designed to fund pilots for companies driving innovations in construction materials and processes. The six winners offer technology solutions to reduce emissions in producing concrete, steel, and bio-based materials essential for building construction. These solutions are especially relevant for new data centers being built to respond to both climate and demand goals amidst AI\u2019s global expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elemental has led this Challenge as one of the many ways it is addressing the <a href=\"https:\/\/elementalimpact.com\/latest\/articles\/closing-the-150b-funding-gap-with-old-tools-and-new-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$150B \u2018Scale Gap\u2019<\/a> &#8211; a significant shortfall of scale-up capital and expertise climate companies face during early-stage commercial deployments, which creates a barrier to the widespread adoption of proven technologies. Often, innovative companies can only overcome scaling and deployment barriers with investments and funded pilot opportunities from established corporate entities. These corporate entities can also serve as a project&#8217;s first customers, which helps ease investors&#8217; concerns about bringing the product to market. Recognizing the key role of corporate partners in addressing the Scale Gap, Elemental has hosted seven similar challenges to date, driving accelerated pathways to deployment and commercialization for climate technology companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a non-profit climate investor, we are mission-driven to champion the needs of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and innovators creating solutions that improve the built and natural environments all around us,\u201d said Mark Chambers, VP of Partnerships at Elemental Impact. \u201cElemental is excited to rally our corporate partners as they open critical pilot, investment, and commercialization doors for these innovators to step through, accelerate their growth, and scale their impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winners were selected from over 75 applicants based on the proven abilities of their products and processes.&nbsp; Those selected have been offered opportunities to deploy funded pilots, access technical scaling support, and receive expert guidance on future investments. The Build Better Innovation Challenge winners include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccretetech.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>C-Crete Technologies<\/strong><\/a> has pioneered a breakthrough pourable cement-free concrete product that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air like a sponge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carbonupcycling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Carbon Upcycling<\/strong><\/a>is a carbon and waste circularity company, enabling industries to transform their CO2 and solid waste into low-carbon cement products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neolithe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>N\u00e9olithe<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neolithe.com\/\"><strong> <\/strong><\/a>aims to reduce inputs to landfills and incineration plants, transforming difficult-to-recycle waste into aggregates usable in the construction industry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/woodoo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>WOODOO<\/strong><\/a> transforms underutilized wood into high-performance, low-carbon materials to replace the most energy-intensive materials, such as concrete, aluminum, and steel, at a competitive price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildfroot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FROOT<\/strong><\/a> manufactures green, corrosion-resistant composite rebars that drastically reduce carbon dioxide, enhance durability, and improve construction economics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madeofair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Made of Air<\/strong><\/a> stores captured carbon in buildings through novel, carbon-negative materials and previously received an investment from Elemental.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies hosting the Challenge sought to identify solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of essential construction materials that play a vital role in building infrastructure, either by developing new low-carbon alternatives or by improving existing production processes to make them cleaner and more resource-efficient. The Challenge also highlighted the increasing demand for these materials, driven by the construction of new AI data centers, and the unique and complementary role AI-driven solution companies could play in accelerating the discovery of novel low-carbon materials for future construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile lower-carbon building construction materials are on the market today, they do not exist at the volume, in the geographies, nor at the scale needed to decarbonize the sector,&#8221; said Brandon Middaugh, Senior Director of Microsoft&#8217;s Climate Innovation Fund. \u201cThrough this work, we aim to maximize our potential roles as investor, pilot partner, and eventual customer to accelerate the market for these solutions needed by both Microsoft and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStart-ups often come with very innovative solutions and are leveraged by Capgemini to effectively address our client requirements. It is crucial that large corporations continue to collaborate with and support start-ups in energy transition and climate tech. As many of them are capital intensive, their ability to issue quality carbon dioxide removal credits can also contribute to their funding and development,\u201d said Lucia Sinapi-Thomas, Managing Director of Capgemini Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFinding new and innovative low carbon materials for the future of buildings is a core priority for Bouygues group,\u201d said Christophe Li\u00e9nard, Chief Innovation Officer. \u201cThis is why Bouygues is thrilled to be a part of this action-oriented program. If other industry leaders are willing to take on the challenge of supporting pilot projects like this year\u2019s winners, we can significantly reduce embodied carbon for the now and for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#####<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Elemental Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elementalimpact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elemental Impact<\/a> is a non-profit climate technology investor with a 15-year history of investing in real-world solutions that make neighborhoods and homes cleaner, healthier, safer, and more affordable.
