Sweden: Paebbl has appointed Fernando Sosa as its FOAK (first of a kind) CEO to lead the design, engineering and delivery of its first commercial-scale facility. The company says this is the next step in scaling the technology from its Rotterdam research and development centre to industrial production.
Sosa holds experience delivering large-scale industrial projects. He previously worked for battery manufacturer Novo Energy, electric car producer Tesla and engineering and construction company Fluor. He also advised Paebbl previously on FOAK strategy.
Paebbl is developing its process to use captured CO₂ as a feedstock to produce supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). It launched its demonstration plant in Rotterdam in 2025 and is aiming to build its first commercial plant by 2028.
