The GCCA has introduced the 2024 Innovandi Open Challenge, which aims to find advanced carbon capture technologies from tech start-ups globally. This effort supports the industry's goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050, as detailed in the Concrete Future 2050 Net Zero Roadmap.
The Innovandi Open Challenge 2024 stands as a pioneering international program fostering collaboration between tech start-ups and leading manufacturers in the cement and concrete industry. This unique initiative aims to accelerate innovation and achieve net zero emissions in cement and concrete production, a crucial step towards a sustainable future.
The overarching goal of the Innovandi Open Challenge is to achieve net zero emissions in the cement and concrete industry. To achieve this ambitious goal, the program focuses on:
The Innovandi Open Challenge fosters a dynamic collaboration between tech start-ups brimming with innovative ideas and established manufacturers with extensive industry expertise and resources.
Start-ups are encouraged to apply by April 15th if they possess innovative solutions for carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS), particularly those applicable to low carbon cement and concrete production. These solutions can include:
This is the third iteration of the Innovandi Open Challenge, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in fostering collaboration between start-ups and leading manufacturers.
Claude Loréa, GCCA Director: "Our industry is committed to net zero, and carbon capture technology is crucial. We've seen remarkable progress in just two years, and we're excited to see what this year's applicants bring."
Thomas Guillot, GCCA CEO: "We know CCUS works, but we need further innovations to accelerate our net zero mission. We encourage applications from start-ups globally to join us in this fight."
Jonathan Cool, Ultra High Materials CEO (2023 participant): "The support, guidance, and exposure from the GCCA have been incredibly beneficial. We would certainly participate again."
