Tanda New Materials

Tanda New Materials is a developer of non-cement-based, carbon-utilization inorganic binder materials founded in 2021 . The company focuses on carbon capture and utilization technology, producing a powdery active material high in non-crystalline silicon and hydration activity that can substitute for traditional cement, with applications in steel and mining industries as upstream feedstock to reduce construction-related energy consumption and carbon emissions . Its products are positioned as lower-cost than conventional cement while offering greater material design flexibility for specialized use cases, and the company claims near-100% emission reduction coefficients . The founding team, led by CEO Yu Yingtian, has overseas research backgrounds from institutions including UCLA and prior experience in carbon-utilization building materials, including winning a $7.5 million prize in the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition . In November 2023, the company raised a tens-of-millions-yuan Pre-A round with Linear Capital as the sole investor, with 2060 Advisory serving as exclusive financial advisor .
