Hatch is a global engineering, project delivery and consulting firm with extensive experience supporting major industrial projects and emerging decarbonization 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.
