The global market leader is investing several millions into research and development for innovative technologies abating carbon emissions to achieve its goal of becoming a CO2 neutral business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis partnership could become a breakthrough towards decarbonising the industry. It fits seamlessly with RHI Magnesita\u2019s ambitious sustainability strategy,\u201d says CEO Stefan Borgas. \u201cWe still have a long way to go but our early-stage investment and the clear intention of a long-term collaboration make this day so memorable. Together with the like-minded team from MCi we will pave the way for a greener industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RHI Magnesita is the world\u2019s leading manufacturer of refractory materials, which are used in all high-temperature industrial processes. As market leader, RHI Magnesita has a responsibility to drive sustainability. Striving to reduce CO2 emissions is therefore one of the company\u2019s top priorities. A significant share of the company\u2019s carbon emissions is released during mineral processing. Decarbonising the company therefore requires unprecedented innovation and new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MCi\u2019s technology presents a safe and profitable means of storing CO2 permanently. The chemical process, called mineral carbonation, creates a range of low-carbon embodied materials, including calcium and magnesium carbonate by carbonating minerals in by-products of industrial processes. For this innovative climate solution, MCi has recently been awarded #1 Global Cleantech Pitch at COP26 in Glasgow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RHI Magnesita is convinced of the potential of mineralisation to achieve a significant CO2 reduction within its Scope1 emissions. To date, both companies have worked together on CO2 mitigation studies, mineral carbonisation feedstock assessments and techno-economic analyses at RHI Magnesita\u2019s worldwide sites. The investment now results from the cleantech\u2019s high industrial research maturity as well as its technology\u2019s exceptional suitability for use in the refractories industry and within the group itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMCi and RHI Magnesita have formed a value-driven collaboration to accelerate the scaling of MCi\u2019s \u201cCircular Carbon Platform,\u201d says MCi co-founder and CEO Marcus Dawe. \u201cAfter a year of successful pilot studies, RHI Magnesita will be MCi\u2019s first commercial customer and a shareholder, helping advance the technology and decarbonise the global refractories industry. This is a positive step towards hard-to-abate emission reductions and a circular economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a next step, the companies\u2019 joint efforts will focus on industrial scale-up, expected to kick-off in 2024 with the setup of a demonstration plant by MCi in Newcastle, Australia, supported by the Australian government and in alignment with the goals of Mission Innovation\u2019s Net Zero Industries initiative, co-led by Austria and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhimagnesita.com\/rhi-magnesita-and-australian-cleantech-mci-carbon-enter-long-term-strategic-cooperation-to-decarbonise-refractories\/\">RHI Magnesita<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: RHI Magnesita<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RHI Magnesita\u2019s has completed a multi-million-dollar investment in the award-winning cleantech and is expected to significantly advance MCi\u2019s Carbon utilisation technology (CCU), underlining the company\u2019s role as sustainability frontrunner of the refractory industry.
