Australia: MCi Carbon has completed low-carbon cement trials with cement producer Boral. The material was produced at MCi Carbon’s Myrtle demonstration plant in Newcastle, New South Wales. The plant was officially opened in June 2026 and has been used by Boral in concrete field trials at its Maldon cement plant. The project investigated new supplementary cementitious materials for potential use in lower-carbon concrete for infrastructure applications. The trial incorporated a low-carbon binder called PozzLock, a synthetic pozzolan. Each tonne of MCI’s cementitious material can reportedly avoid up to 0.5t of CO₂.
