World's First Carbon-Storing Pedestrian Bridge Made of Recycled Concrete Unveiled in Netherlands
In Rosmalen, Netherlands, Paebbl and Heijmans have unveiled the world's first pedestrian bridge made from recycled, CO₂-neutral concrete that captures and stores carbon dioxide. The seven-meter-long structure utilizes 75% circular raw materials and incorporates technology that replaces 30% of traditional cement with carbon-storing materials, allowing it to permanently store 66 kilograms of CO₂. This innovative project marks a significant advancement in sustainable construction and carbon storage solutions.

In Rosmalen, Netherlands, Paebbl and Heijmans launched the first pedestrian bridge constructed from recycled, CO₂-neutral concrete capable of capturing and storing carbon dioxide. The seven-meter-long bridge incorporates 75% circular raw materials, replacing conventional sand and gravel to protect natural ecosystems.
Paebbl's technology replaces 30% of traditional cement with carbon-storing materials, accelerating mineralization, a natural process that locks carbon dioxide in solid form. The bridge can permanently store 66 kilograms of CO₂, with each tonne of material capable of storing around 220 kilograms.
Additionally, biochar from CarStorCon® Technologies, made from plant waste, enhances carbon absorption. This innovative bridge represents a significant step towards sustainable construction and long-term carbon storage.
