Thanks to "Path to Commercialisation" we're able to finance extra work sitting between our demo plant facility and our first commercial plant currently being designed for industrial scale. The programme supports research, innovation capacity and the deployment of advanced technologies in the Rotterdam region, where our R&D centre is based.
Every operating hour of our demo plant feeds the engineering already underway for our first commercial-scale facility (FOAK), designed to produce 60,000-100,000 tonnes of product per year.
Thank you to Kansen voor West and the City of Rotterdam for your continuous support!

Paebbl Rebond 300We're excited to launch Rebond 300, the world’s first carbon-negative construction material with an EPD-verified footprint of -149 kg CO₂ per tonne. It marks the latest addition to our Rebond series of carbon-negative construction materials, representing a 10x improvement in net carbon performance compared to our first-generation product. Every tonne of material we produce now removes significantly more CO₂ from the atmosphere than is emitted during its entire production process.Read more)

Carbon removal certification needs to catch up with carbon-storing scienceIn February 2026, we participated in the European Commission's CRCF (Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming) workshop on direct ocean carbon capture and storage (DOCCS) and mineral carbonation in Brussels. Alongside other stakeholders, we were invited to provide feedback on two review papers that will shape the next phase of how Europe certifies carbon removals.
We submitted a detailed position paper to the Commission, and this blog post below sets out the substance of what we said - for full transparency.Read more)
