Airfix – a new subsidiary of South Pole – combines decades of climate finance and carbon project development expertise with a vision for a scalable Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) market in Switzerland and beyond.
Airfix supports biogenic carbon emitters to develop and finance carbon removal and storage, giving investors the confidence to invest in BiCRS while producing certified carbon removal credits, underpinned by significant emissions reductions.
We aim to capture 5,000,000 tonnes of CO₂e in 10 years.
By creating a cohesive ecosystem for BiCRS projects, we simplify the complex value chain for biogenic emitters, providing investors with attractive opportunities for low-carbon investments and drive carbon finance into the BiCRS market by working with carbon standards to produce certified carbon credits.
–––––––––––
Biomass with Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) is a process that captures carbon emissions from organic material and stores this carbon geologically or in durable products. BiCRS uses proven technology that holds significant potential in industries such as biomass or biogas plants, wastewater treatment plants and waste incineration plants.

Concrete That Matters: CarbonCure Technologies is on a mission to empower cement and concrete producers with technologies and strategies to achieve the industry's net zero commitment by 2050.
Across the global concrete industry, CarbonCure is scaling an integrated, drop-in solution, offering concrete producers a suite of hardware, software and services to increase the cement efficiency of their concrete products, reduce their production costs and meet demand for green building materials without compromising performance.
CarbonCure’s technologies are retrofitted into concrete plants without disrupting operations and seamlessly integrate with existing batching processes. CarbonCure injects captured CO₂ across the concrete manufacturing process, with commercialized solutions for ready mix and precast concrete. Upon injection, CO₂ immediately mineralizes in concrete, becoming permanently embedded. Even if a structure is later demolished, the nanoparticles of mineralized carbon will not return to the atmosphere. This mineralization also enables producers to reduce the amount of cement needed for each truckload of concrete.
A Carbon XPRIZE Grand Prize winner, Cleantech 100 Hall of Fame Company and a category leader in carbon utilization technologies for lower carbon concrete, CarbonCure delivers a true win-win, with environmental benefits for the world and economic benefits for concrete producers in one of the world's hardest-to-decarbonize industries.
