Reaforma make strides to decarbonise concrete with the close of their £1.1M Pre-Seed Investment round led by TSP Ventures, supported by the Innovate UK Investor Partnership in Clean Energy and Climate Technologies.
Solving the concrete problem
The global cement market is currently worth $400 billion, it’s the second most used material after water, and it also contributes to 8% of global emissions. Currently, low carbon cement solutions are costly, difficult to scale, and deliver limited carbon reductions. By combining energy recovery with cheaper, greener calcined clay, Reaforma has found a way to use resources more efficiently to create a solution that is both impactful and cost-effective.
The solution
Their innovative solution replaces ‘clinker’, the core material in cement that produces very high emissions. By using other supplementary cementitious materials to create calcined clay cement, fired with enhanced power cycles, that capture and reuse energy, Reaforma has invented a carbon negative way to make cement.
The opportunity
New funding will give Reaforma the opportunity to scale to address growing demand for global building stock which is estimated to grow from the current 223 billion square meters to 415 billion square meters in 2050. With enough investment to accelerate product development, enter new industrial partnerships, build a new clay calcination lab alongside team expansion, it is now time for the next stage of growth.
The applications for our next Venture Builder Programmes are open now to start in April.
