Company mission
To unlock the circular economy between steelmaking and the cement industry; creating low-carbon construction materials for the builders of tomorrow.
Our take
15% of global emissions stem from steel and cement refinement, and with construction set to double over the next 40 years, that’s a considerable increase in carbon output. Cocoon Carbon is upcycling by-products of steel and cement manufacturing, and in turn, creating a low-carbon alternative to these vital materials.
Cocoon’s carbon capture product is called LoopCem, a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) which utilises slag from Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) to reduce carbon emissions by 27%. The steel industry uses EAFs to reduce carbon emissions through slag, but before Cocoon’s solution, the e-slag produced wasn’t durable enough to be used as a cement alternative. So Cocoon has developed a cost-effective solution for this problem.
Its patent-pending process of creating SCMs could become the next big thing, and with 2024 pre-seed funding behind it, it is conducting trials of its solution in the North of England. Here’s to hoping these are successful and that Cocoon can broaden its reach to the global cement industry.
