CCUS will be a core lever for decarbonisation, Sjogren, originally from Sweden, told TNW.
And luckily, world governments and hard-decarbonise industries like cement and steel are starting to realise that.
The CO2 turns into CO3 (carbon trioxide) and binds to the olivine.
Around half of the emissions from cement are produced when limestone is heated to produce lime.
Paebbls powder can replace lime and other additives in things like wall filler, turning buildings into carbon sinks.

Paebbl aims to bring 1 million tons of its product to the market by 2030.
