Paebbl has opened its first demo plant in Rotterdam as it looks to ramp up its carbon capture technology.
Now, the site is purportedly the worlds biggest plant capable of continuously mineralising CO2.
Paebbl said the plant was completed in record time with the help of Dutch engineering companies Spie and Vicoma.
The project also received an undisclosed financial investment from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).

How does Paebbls technology mineralise CO2?
Paebbls technology artificially accelerates the slow, natural process of carbon mineralisation.
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 substances like wall filler, turning buildings into carbon sinks.
Paebbl aims to build a commercial-scale plant in 2027.
In Europe, the Nordics, Spain, and Portugal stand out in this respect.
Paebbl aims to bring 1 million tons of its product to the market by 2030.
Sustainability will be a hot topic atTNW Conference, which takes place on June 19-20 in Amsterdam.
