MCi Carbon

📣 The Australian Federal Government has today awarded Australian clean tech MCi Carbon a $14.5m Carbon Capture Technologies Program (CCTP) grant 💰 The Myrtle+ Project aims to progress Australia's lead in permanent Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) technology. It will capture and transform CO₂ from hard-to-abate industries into carbon embodied materials for use in buildings and construction, creating new industries and jobs in the circular carbon economy. The fund will progress plant upgrades to MCi Carbon’s Myrtle CCU facility to expand and optimise processing capabilities for a broader range of feedstock materials, further supporting decarbonisation efforts. 🏗 Myrtle, which is currently in late-stage construction on Kooragang Island in Newcastle, will capture and transform more than 1000 tonnes of CO₂ per year and create up to 5,000 tonnes of new materials. The project brings MCi Carbon’s CCU technology closer to market, significantly advancing both Australian and global customer engagements, ultimately accelerating its mission to lock away millions of tonnes of CO₂ into materials and helping the world achieve a net zero future.

🔄WATCH🌍Imagine if we could transform CO₂ emissions into valuable products instead of letting them harm our planet. At MCi Carbon, we’re doing just that with our patented CO₂ transformation technology. We treat CO₂ as a resource that can be turned into solid materials, speeding up the Earth’s natural carbon cycle from millions of years to minutes. With Myrtle in late stage construction, we’re creating a new paradigm for large-scale carbon removal — capturing emissions from industries like cement, steel, and chemicals and converting them into products for sustainable infrastructure. 🌱 By partnering with industry leaders, we’re not only reducing emissions but also enabling a profitable transition to carbon neutrality and even carbon negative solutions. Let’s rethink carbon as a resource and unlock the potential of a circular carbon economy. Want to be part of the solution? 🌍 Join MCi Carbon in the race to net zero emissions!

💫 2024 has marked a pivotal moment in our journey with the near completion of Myrtle, our latest mineral carbonation plant and Australia’s CCU Flagship in Newcastle, New South Wales. Once fully operational, Myrtle will capture and transform over 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually into more than 5,000 tonnes of low-carbon materials. The Myrtle+ Project will fast-track decarbonisation pathways for industries worldwide, providing our customers with a rapid validation platform for testing emissions profiles, waste streams, and low-carbon product applications. By doing so, Myrtle will help these industries embed sustainability into their operations without overhauling their entire supply chains. #mineralcarbonation #myrtle #ccu #mcicarbon Significantly, MCi Carbon received a further $14.5 million Carbon Capture Technologies Program (CCTP) grant from the Australian Government in August. The company has been continuously supported by government funding for over a decade, with 11 consecutive years of grants, representing what will be a 15-year partnership with Australian government bodies. This sustained bipartisan support reflects the confidence in our technology and the belief that Myrtle will be a cornerstone in Australia’s clean technology future. The project will also expand our plant’s capabilities, allowing us to process a broader range of feedstocks and provide decarbonization pathways for industries in Australia and around the globe. Beyond its technical capabilities, Myrtle symbolises our home-grown innovation, the belief in a circular economy, and climate hope. It serves as a beacon of what’s possible when cutting-edge technology, industry collaboration, and government support converge to address the climate crisis.

A huge thanks to Kara Sullivan (Guts Creative) for expertly moderating the panel on brand at the Hunter Innovation Festival! It was inspiring to hear from Mark Adams (Rhizocore Technologies) and Dan Canham (Tomorrow Strategy Co.) about what's working in building strong brands. At MCi Carbon, we continue refining our local narrative while sharing our story on the global stage. The Hunter region and Newcastle have an incredible history of resilience and transformation, and we’re proud to contribute to that rich legacy. Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen real progress in our brand and marketing efforts. At last year's festival, local success stories, including ours, were struggling to find the spotlight. But thanks to the boots-on-the-ground advocacy and community engagement—including partnerships with local businesses, government, and universities—we’ve come a long way! #HunterInnovationFestival #MCiCarbon #BrandBuilding #Sustainability #ClimateAction #HunterRegion #NetZero #CommunityEngagement #Innovation #CircularEconomy

Clear, rational, evidence based financial and political decision making is required to meet our climate, ESG and economic growth targets. Well done Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) in helping tell some of the real world stories of climate action that we Australians can now hear and feel proud of in this, an unavoidable major economic and societal transition to net zero. MCi Carbon is proud to be featured in this campaign as one of these stories. Our governments need to be thinking long term in the national interest and resist political point scoring and creating policy uncertainty for those investors we actually need to fund the various paths to net zero and the new industries and jobs that are created with them. How about let's all act in the common interest of "Australia Inc." first.

https://lnkd.in/ghTxpqzp I have been spending quite a bit of time in the Newcastle/Hunter region over the last year or so. Always leave with a renewed sense of optimism. Such a strong community with people showing how climate action pays off. Very happy Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) has the opportunity to showcase this passion to the whole Australian community.
