Australian cleantech developer Mineral Carbonation International (MCi) has closed a deal with Japanese giant ITOCHU Corporation (ITOCHU) to promote applications of MCi’s low emissions carbon utilisation technology using ITOCHU’s group network.
MCi uses carbon engineering processes to transform captured carbon dioxide emissions from most industrial sources into solid materials known as ‘carbonates’ that can be used to manufacture a range of building and construction products including building materials, chemicals, cements, concretes or consumer products. Turning carbon emissions into value this way is known as Carbon Capture and Utilisation, or CCU.
