Australian startup MCi Carbon plans to raise US$50 million to expand its carbon capture technology after opening a demonstration plant in Newcastle. The company's process converts captured CO2 into materials used in construction, positioning it to benefit from growing global demand for carbon reduction solutions.
MIT researchers have identified a new electrochemical approach to carbon capture using N-heterocyclic imine-based sorbents. The technology could reduce the energy demands of carbon capture systems while improving scalability and flexibility, offering a potential pathway toward more efficient carbon dioxide removal and utilization.
KBR's PureSAF technology has been selected by NorSAF for a sustainable aviation fuel and e-SAF production facility in Latvia that is expected to become the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. The plant is planned to produce 100,000 tons of fuel annually beginning in 2030.
Mazda successfully demonstrated onboard CO₂ capture and storage during the Super Taikyu Series 2026, capturing 804 grams of CO₂ over a 24-hour race. The achievement marks a significant step toward practical application of the technology and Mazda’s goal of realizing carbon-negative mobility by 2035.
Holcim has launched CaptureLab, the cement industry's first industrial-scale carbon capture test platform, in Martres-Tolosane, France. The 2,500-square-meter facility uses an open innovation model to allow manufacturers, startups and researchers to test and validate advanced capture technologies in real-world conditions. The platform launches with an initial pilot project in partnership with Air Liquide.
