Orica has joined the Australian and New South Wales governments to support a world-first research pilot project. Mineral Carbonation Pty Ltd (MCi), a joint venture between Orica, the University of Newcastle and the GreenMag Group, will establish the pilot plant at the University.
The technology transforms captured carbon dioxide emissions into solid carbonate for safe disposal or use in “green” building materials. If the technology can be successfully commercialised, it has the potential to contribute to a meaningful reduction in both Orica’s and customers’ CO2 emissions.
Such innovation continues to make Orica the supplier of choice and will contribute to improving the productivity and sustainability of Orica and of its customers in more than 100 countries around the world
