Ureaka has been selected as one of the Top 50 global finalists in Tencent’s CarbonX Program 2.0, a global programme supporting early-stage climate technologies with the potential to accelerate decarbonisation.

CarbonX 2.0, launched by Tencent and partners, is focused on helping bold climate innovations move towards full-scale pilot projects with real-world impact. The programme supports technologies across carbon capture, utilisation, removal and long-duration energy storage.

This year’s cohort was selected from 660 applicants across 54 countries, bringing together innovators working on some of the most urgent challenges in climate technology.

Ureaka has joined the CarbonXmade CO₂ utilisation track, showcasing its work to convert captured carbon into high-value construction materials through its closed-loop CO₂-to-bioconcrete process.

The selection is an important milestone for Ureaka as the team continues to progress its technology from lab-scale development towards real-world deployment, partner testing and commercial validation.

A huge thank you to Tencent and the CarbonX programme partners for supporting global climate innovation, and congratulations to all of the other finalists.

Ureaka would also like to thank Ben Redmond Roche, Euan Fenelon, the University of Strathclyde, The Carbon Removers, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage, FIP, First Impact Partners, IBioIC and everyone who has supported the team so far.
