Investment from leading climate and strategic partners positions Terra for rapid expansion of commercial facilities across North America and Europe

GOLDEN, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Terra CO2 (Terra), a leading US-based low-carbon building materials company, today announced it has signed Series B equity commitments for US$82M from a mix of financial and strategic investors.

Co-led by Just Climate (established by Generation Investment Management), Eagle Materials (NYSE: EXP), and GenZero, the round has also attracted interest from several industrial partners with formal announcements forthcoming. Seed and Series A lead investor Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) also participated in this round, reaffirming its commitment to Terra’s mission. The funding will accelerate Terra’s commercial deployment of its OPUS technology, with multiple full-scale production facilities planned across North America and initial development beginning in Europe. Closing will be subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent.

“This strategic funding from the world’s leading climate funds and industry partners validates our approach to practical cement decarbonization at commercial scale,” said Bill Yearsley, CEO of Terra. “As we break ground on our first full-scale plant in Texas, their support enables us to accelerate our deployment across North America, and our plans to develop an early beachhead in Europe.”

Approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions come from the cement industry, making it one of the most urgent challenges in industrial decarbonization. While other solutions require significant infrastructure changes or rely on scarce materials, Terra’s OPUS products use abundant raw materials from established mines and work within existing industry infrastructure. This approach enables immediate deployment at scale, delivering cementitious materials that perform equal to or better than traditional cement while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

“We are proud to co-lead this investment in Terra,” said Michael Haack, President and CEO of Eagle Materials. “As the supply of other Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, continues to decrease in availability, increased SCM development will be crucial to fulfill the needs of our customers and in meeting the expected increases in demand for cement more broadly. This investment aligns with our goal to seek sustainable and commercially viable solutions that work within existing infrastructure.”

Since its Series A, Terra has secured agreements with Asher Materials for its first facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In partnership with Eagle Materials, option agreements are also in place for multiple 240,000-ton plants across North America. The company has validated its technology through extensive piloting and successful concrete demonstrations, including the construction of a Porsche dealership in Houston, and received the “Decarbonization Solution of the Year” award in the 2024 CleanTech Breakthrough Awards. Terra has also advanced its OPUS ZERO™ technology, a 100% cement replacement solution, into full concrete trials. Most recently, The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Terra a US$52.6M DOE grant to support a second commercial plant.

“Terra is the type of transformational solution that Just Climate seeks to scale,” said Benoit Grobon, Managing Director at Just Climate. “Their ability to deliver a practical and cost competitive solution to one of the world’s highest-emitting and most off track sectors, along with their strategic approach to deployment, positions them to drive meaningful carbon reduction in the construction industry.”

“We invest in commercially scalable technologies with the ability to deliver deep decarbonization impact in hard-to-abate sectors such as the built environment,” said Kimberly Tan, Managing Director and Head of Investments at GenZero. “Terra’s proprietary technology is a present-day, accessible solution, which has undergone extensive testing and garnered significant commercial traction from potential customers. This means it can deliver immediate decarbonization benefits while addressing the demands of urban development and the industry’s stringent performance requirements.”

The robust support from the current world-class investor group, combined with Terra’s commercial readiness and growing market validation, has generated interest from strategic and financial investors. Terra expects a second round of investors to sign on to the Series B raise by late Q1 2025, driven by strong interest from those unable to participate in this initial signing.

As Terra prepares its first full-scale commercial plant in Texas, it has also entered into a contract with Clark Construction for the construction delivery. “Having known Clark for decades, I know they have the technical expertise to execute this project successfully. I am excited to have them on the team as one of the largest and most respected contractors in North America with the reach to complete Terra projects anywhere in the United States,” said Yearsley.

With the Series B funding, Terra will continue to accelerate the buildout of its commercial footprint, form strategic partnerships, and deploy additional facilities to meet the increasing demand for sustainable construction materials across North America and Europe.

About Terra CO2 (Terra)

Terra enables their partners to unlock low-carbon cement from source to deployment. As the critical component in creating concrete, the foundation of modern infrastructure, cement is responsible for 8% of the world’s CO₂ emissions. The CO₂ and NO_x emissions associated with cement make finding an alternative to current solutions a climate imperative.

Unique to Terra is their capability to work across a diverse range of silicate rock mineralogy, not constrained by feedstock availability. Terra’s technology allows the company to create sustainable construction materials with the most abundant and accessible raw materials on earth from already approved and open mines.

Terra’s first product, OPUS SCM™ (Supplementary Cementitious Material), is ready for commercial deployment, capable of replacing up to 50% OPC (Original Portland Cement) and addressing the industry’s carbon emissions and dwindling feedstock challenges. Terra’s OPUS ZERO™, a potential 100% replacement of OPC, is in full concrete trials. Both leverage Terra’s “drop-in” reactor solution, which seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure and sets the foundation for the transition to real zero cement.

Validated by third parties, Terra’s materials perform equal to or better than traditional cementitious products.

Terra is headquartered in Golden, Colorado, and is led by a team of industry experts. For more information, please visit: https://terraco2.com/

8.9 MW solar project designed to prevent 7,695 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year

Ameresco will provide full operations and maintenance services for the system over the next 25 years, ensuring long-term performance and cost savings

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & OROMOCTO, New Brunswick–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, has been awarded a major solar energy and resiliency project at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base (CDSB) in Oromocto, New Brunswick. This large-scale solar project represents a critical step toward supporting the Government of Canada’s commitment to procure 100% clean electricity for federal facilities by 2025.

The Gagetown Solar Project, a CAD $26.7 million initiative, is set to deliver an 8.9 MWdc/7.35 MWac ground-mounted solar energy system designed to provide approximately 8,900 MWh of electricity annually to the base. This project is expected to generate around 20% of the base’s electricity needs, significantly contributing to the Department of National Defence’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When running at full capacity, the project will prevent approximately 7,695 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year and contribute to meeting emissions targets in the Defence Climate and Sustainability Strategy 2023-2027 – Canada.ca.

The 5 CDSB Gagetown solar project, which includes the placement of 14,496 solar panels across the base, will be operated and maintained by Ameresco under a 25-year contract. The energy generated will be used entirely on-site, providing the base with long-term energy security and resilience. In addition to reducing emissions, the project is expected to save the base approximately CAD $1.3 million annually in utility costs.

The project is part of Canada’s Federal Buildings Initiative, which seeks to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of federal buildings across the country. The initiative at Gagetown is particularly significant given the size of the base, which encompasses more than 200 buildings with a total floor area exceeding 525,000 square meters.

Ameresco will design, engineer, procure, and construct the solar system, integrating it smoothly with the base’s existing electrical infrastructure. The system is equipped with advanced controls and monitoring technology to optimize performance throughout its lifecycle. The project is expected to be completed by June 2025, and Ameresco will provide full operations and maintenance services for the system over the next 25 years, ensuring long-term performance and cost savings.

“We’re proud to partner with the Department of National Defence on this important project,” said Bob McCullough, President of Ameresco Canada. “This solar energy solution is more than about powering Gagetown today — it’s about creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for Canada. By investing in renewable energy, we’re helping the country move closer to its long-term sustainability goals while delivering reliable, cost-effective power for years to come.”
