Ekovilla

Ekovilla offers carbon net-negative cellulose fibre insulation (CFI) made from renewable natural resources. One tonne of Ekovilla’s CFI removes 1,11 tonnes of CO2 eq. from the atmosphere into long-term storage in the product. The insulation is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects and it is used in 10,000 buildings annually. Once installed, CO2 is stored in durable building structures for a minimum of 50 years. It is industrial carbon removal to help corporations achieve their climate targets and take proactive steps towards carbon net zero.

The Big Picture

Growing trees capture carbon which is then stored in bio-based construction materials. Sustainably grown wood is used for producing newspapers, which are recycled and used as the main ingredient for manufacturing Ekovilla's cellulose fibre insulation (CFI)

How it Works

Recycling discarded wooden biomass into building materials allows carbon to be locked in stable form for generations rather than decomposing and releasing its carbon as CO2. If the whole process is carbon negative, then the technology is known as carbon removal. Carbon removal technologies are critical in achieving net zero by 2050 let alone reversing global emissions and are a core component of our strategy.
