MCi Carbon is pleased to announce a collaboration with Hatch to support the engineering, technoeconomic assessment and commercial deployment pathways for MCi’s mineral carbonation technology.
Hatch is a global engineering, project delivery and consulting firm with extensive experience supporting major industrial projects and emerging decarbonisation technologies. Through the collaboration, Hatch will support MCi in the development of commercial-scale mineral carbonation projects, including feasibility studies, engineering, plant development and project delivery planning.
MCi Carbon’s technology uses mineral carbonation to permanently bind CO₂ into solid materials, producing low-carbon materials for use in industrial and construction supply chains. The collaboration with Hatch is intended to support the development of robust, scalable and commercially deployable project pathways for this technology.
Marcus Dawe, MCi Carbon CEO said:
“Design has started on our first commercial plants. Hatch’s engineering expertise strengthens our ability to roll out this technology globally. This partnership positions us to turn our pipeline of customer opportunities into delivered projects.”
Wendy Harris, Hatch Australia-Asia Regional Director, Climate Change said:
“Hatch is pleased to collaborate with MCi Carbon on the development and scale-up of its mineral carbonation technology. Through this collaboration, Hatch intends to provide engineering support and technical expertise to assist MCi’s project development activities. We look forward to working with the MCi team as they continue to advance the technology and evaluate opportunities for future commercial deployment with particular focus on scale-up, technology integration, and execution planning.”
MCi and Hatch will continue working together to identify and progress commercial mineral carbonation opportunities across relevant industrial sectors.
In June 2026, Australia’s Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen officially opened Myrtle, the world’s first ‘carbon refinery’, at Kooragang Island, Newcastle. Together, the two milestones mark MCi Carbon’s shift from validated technology to commercial-scale delivery, with Hatch now supporting the engineering and delivery planning behind that next phase.
About MCi Carbon
MCi Carbon is an Australian technology company developing processes that convert captured carbon dioxide and abundant minerals into valuable industrial products. The company’s mineral carbonation technology permanently binds CO2 into stable carbonate minerals while producing materials that can be used in construction, manufacturing and other industrial applications.
MCi Carbon operates its Myrtle Demonstration Plant on Kooragang Island in Newcastle, New South Wales. Myrtle processes mineral feedstocks through accelerated mineral carbonation to produce construction materials, including supplementary cementitious materials that can partially replace Portland cement in concrete.
The Myrtle facility provides a platform for scaling MCi Carbon’s technology from pilot research to industrial deployment and supports collaborations with industry partners developing lower-emissions materials for infrastructure and manufacturing supply chains.
