The challenge isn’t just the energy required to produce it, half of the emissions come from the chemistry itself. In this conversation, Andreas explains why decarbonizing cement is one of climate tech’s hardest problems and why entirely new materials may offer a path forward.</p><p>We also explore what it takes to bring a novel industrial material to market, how risk is shared across the construction value chain, and why Europe could play a defining role in the next industrial era.</p><p>In our conversation, we covered:</p><p>→ Why cement remains one of the toughest sectors to decarbonize</p><p>→ How Paebbl turns captured CO₂ and abundant minerals into a carbon-storing construction material</p><p>→ Why customers increasingly demand low-carbon concrete—and who’s willing to pay for it</p><p>→ The challenge of proving performance when buildings and infrastructure are on the line</p><p>→ How Paebbl brought companies like Holcim and Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund onto its cap table to align incentives</p><p>→ Why scaling industrial climate technologies requires a completely different financing model</p><p>→ Europe’s opportunity to lead a new wave of industrial innovation</p><p>→ The emerging software, AI, and materials technologies transforming the construction industry</p><p>✨ Leave a review and share the episode if this conversation challenged the way you think about growth, innovation, and sustainability.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

The companies that create lasting impact are the ones that bridge the gap between technical excellence and commercial execution.</p><p>As Beau puts it, founders need to build products customers are willing to adopt, not just technologies that are impressive in the lab.</p><p>We also discuss why climate and industrial investing should no longer be viewed as separate categories. Improving efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and modernizing industrial systems may not always be the most radical solutions, but they can create enormous impact at scale.</p><p>And as Europe pushes for greater energy independence and industrial resilience, Bo believes the timing has never been better.</p><p>✨ Leave a review and share the episode if this conversation challenged the way you think about growth, innovation, and sustainability.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

They care about the properties. The opportunity is about recreating critical minerals behavior with materials that are abundant, affordable, and locally available.</p><p>If that thesis proves true, the implications stretch far beyond climate.</p><p>✨ Leave a review and share the episode if this conversation challenged the way you think about growth, innovation, and sustainability.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
