Point Source Carbon Capture is the pinnacle of industrial decarbonization and Cormetech is positioned to lead the journey.”
Mike Mattes has been an integral part of Cormetech (and its predecessor, CoaLogix) for over 17 years, guiding the organizations through significant milestones and achievements.

As Chairman of the Board, Mike will continue to provide strategic oversight and support to the executive team.
"It has been my privilege to lead Cormetech and work alongside such a talented group of individuals," said Mike. "I am very confident that Patricia is the absolute right person to expand and globalize our catalyst business and commercialize our carbon capture portfolio of technologies and services.
