Change, Wildlife and Parks. For this project, Kruger is partnering with the develop- ers of the carbon capture technology, Mantel Capture Inc., a pioneering North American start-up founded by engi- neers and scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Together, they are investing a total of $6.1 million. “We are thrilled to be at the forefront of testing this promising new technology, which has the potential to help us, as well as the entire manufacturing sector, achieve our goal of decarbonizing our operations.
