Objective
Adaptavate is addressing construction's carbon crisis with Breathaboard, the world's first carbon-negative wallboard that sequesters a total of 4kg CO2/m² (net storage 1Kg CO2/m²) while providing superior performance to traditional gypsum plasterboard. Buildings emit 37% of global emissions.
Breathaboard brings breakthrough biochar technology, turning construction waste into carbon-sequestering wallboard through controlled pyrolysis and accelerated carbonation. This drop-in replacement delivers industry-standard performance while achieving carbon negativity—impossible with traditional materials. Our TRL 6 industrial prototype achieves BRE-verified 4kg CO2 sequestration per m² with semi-continuous production and EN 520 compliance.
EIC funding will:
• Advance technology to TRL 8 through 10X manufacturing scale-up validating integrated co-location of pyrolysis and carbonation stages that utilize residual heat for curing and CO2 for mineralization, de-risking cost-effective manufacturing integration for licensing partners across Europe's 556M m² addressable wallboard market.
• Secure CE Mark for EU market entry and establish carbon credit validation pathways for revenue diversification.
• Meet carbon storage policies across target markets with building materials as critical carbon removal infrastructure.
Adaptavate's asset-light licensing model accelerates global expansion by partnering with established manufacturers rather than competing with them. By 2030, we project licensing 9.5M m² annual Breathaboard production, generating €17.1M licensing revenues while partners capture €570M total sales value. This strategy targets regulatory-driven demand where compliance timelines create immediate revenue opportunities, positioning Adaptavate as the essential technology partner for manufacturers transitioning to carbon-negative production capabilities.
