KohlenKraft<\/a> is one of the sponsors of the Climathon in<\/a>Zurich. This is according to an announcement<\/a> from Runway<\/a>, the sponsor of early-stage start-ups based at Technopark Winterthur<\/a>. The Runway Incubator is a program of the Center for Entrepreneurship<\/a> at the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship<\/a> at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Climathon is a 32-hour format organized once a year by the Impact Hub Zurich<\/a>. The event serves to find and develop ideas for climate protection in Zurich. This year, it will take place on November 1 and 2 at the Zurich Kraftwerk.<\/p>\n

The start-up company KohlenKraft, founded in 2023, is also based at Technopark Winterthur. Last year, the park headlined a short portrait<\/a> of the start-up’s move into its premises with the sentence: “Runway start-up KohlenKraft is getting ready for revolution”. KohlenKraft has set itself the task of supplying the construction industry with climate-positive materials. Its products such as plaster, wall plaster for industrial use, bricks and thermal insulation made from biochar absorb more CO2 during their service life than they emit.<\/p>\n

KohlenKraft also closes the cycle: The biochar is made from biomass waste, reduces the need for raw materials such as sand and thus contributes to a circular built environment. This is why KohlenKraft was also supported by the Circular Building Industry Innovation Booster<\/a>. The Innosuisse<\/a> program supports the transition to a circular economy in the Swiss construction industry through systematic innovation.<\/p>\n

CEO Charles Gerike-Roberts and CTO Moritz Keller have already received several awards. in 2022, the two KohlenKraft founders won the FrontRunner Award at the ZHAW Sustainability Challenge<\/a>. They took first place in the ZHAW Startup Challenge 2023<\/a> and were class winners in the Startup Campus<\/a> and Innosuisse Business Concept course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
