The collaboration with Hatch will support the development of 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.
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.”
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.
