The Zug-based building materials company Holcim<\/a> and the Climate Pledge Fund<\/a>, which belongs to Amazon, have decided to support start-ups that are committed to sustainable construction, according to a press release<\/a>. The money donated from the fund for the company 14Trees<\/a>, which operates in Africa, will be used for high-rise buildings using 3D printing technology. 14Trees uses the technology developed by Holcim and British International Investment(BII<\/a>) for 3D-printed buildings such as schools, residential buildings and a low-carbon data center. The company intends to use the funding provided for Paebbl<\/a> to further advance its mineralization technology, which can be used to store CO2 in concrete.<\/p>\n

“By investing in 14Trees and Paebbl with Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, we can scale up these breakthrough technologies to push the boundaries of sustainable construction – from 3D printing to turning concrete into a carbon sink,” Nollaig Forrest, Chief Sustainability Officer at Holcim, is quoted as saying in the press release.<\/p>\n

Francois Perrot, Managing Director of 14Trees, was delighted to have found Amazon and Holcim as investors. For Marta Sjögren, co-founder and co-CEO of Paebbl, this funding round “enables us to take even bolder steps in our mission to make the built environment a cornerstone of the decarbonized economy”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
