In Austria, MCi Carbon, a clean energy firm, is pioneering a groundbreaking initiative to combat climate change by capturing and repurposing CO2 emissions. The company plans to build a plant by 2028 that will capture 50,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from industrial processes and transform it into sustainable building materials.

This innovative approach is expected to significantly impact the construction industry, which is one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize. By leveraging geology to accelerate natural cycles, MCi Carbon aims to repurpose emissions from the production of materials like cement and paper, contributing to the fight against climate change.

The plant will utilize a low-cost, low-pressure, low-energy chemical engineering process to transform CO2 into building products and materials, creating a circular economy within the construction industry and reducing the demand for high-emission alternatives.
