- Holcim invested in 44.01 to help scale mineralization-based carbon storage.
- A pilot at the Fujairah cement plant in the United Arab Emirates has operated since July.
- The investment expands Holcim's decarbonization technology portfolio under its NextGen Growth 2030 strategy.
Holcim is expanding its decarbonization strategy through an investment in 44.01, a developer of carbon-mineralization technology. The company announced the move in a media release published in early November 2026, saying the funding will support 44.01's international expansion and technology scaling. The Holcim release described the investment as the next step in an established commercial relationship.
Technology moves closer to operations
Since July, Holcim and 44.01 have operated a pilot under live industrial conditions at Holcim's Fujairah cement plant in the United Arab Emirates. The process injects captured carbon dioxide into naturally reactive ultramafic rock formations, where it mineralizes into stable carbonate rock and is stored underground.
Holcim's Ram Muthu, Head of Operational Excellence, said the approach could enable storage close to production where geological conditions allow. He also said it could help manage captured carbon at inland sites where access to offshore storage is limited. The company did not disclose the financial size of the investment.
Decarbonization portfolio gains breadth
The transaction adds to Holcim's open-innovation and corporate-venture portfolio. Holcim said its MAQER Ventures unit has made 22 investments to date, with the 44.01 deal focused on a technology that could support carbon management across industrial operations.
