Turning buildings into carbon sinks.
We provide turnkey solutions for the construction industry to build with climate-neutral materials.
ecoLocked is enabling a more climate-friendly built environment by converting captured carbon into functional materials.
The construction sector has committed to reaching net zero by 2050, but is struggling to achieve that goal, in particular for embodied carbon from building materials. Due to the lack of progress in reducing emissions, humanity will need to capture and lock away gigatons of carbon from the atmosphere: 10 Gt per year by 2050.
Meanwhile, concrete, the second-most consumed material on earth after water, and responsible for approximately 8% of global emissions, is on track to double production between now and 2060. ecoLocked is turning that challenge into an opportunity to permanently store captured carbon and create better concrete.
With ecoLocked Materials®, we can turn concrete structures into the largest human-made carbon sink!
We are developing products that turn captured carbon into high-performance building materials. One of the tools we use is biochar, a stable carbonaceous material resulting from the most cost-efficient and mature carbon removal technology, Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR). Our first products are biochar-based concrete admix materials that permanently sequester captured carbon throughout the built environment, while reducing the need for cement, sand, and other raw materials. Each product is engineered to meet and even enhance targeted concrete performance characteristics such as strength, weight reduction, durability, insulation, and even pollution filtration capabilities.

How is ecoLocked breaking the carbon cycle?
By creating novel applications for biochar in construction materials, we create durable carbon sinks, enable the global scale-up of biochar carbon removal, and simultaneously supply the construction industry with valuable materials to achieve its sustainability goals.
