Innovating direct air capture for carbon dioxide removal
Learn how our research is contributing to a robust evidence base to analyse the potential benefits, limitations, and challenges associated with direct air capture and storage (DACS).
Could the ocean have a climate solution in store?
Our scientists are probing deeper around the opportunities and risks for carbon dioxide removal in the ocean using an area of science called genomics.
Microalgae gaining traction in carbon dioxide removal community
Could microscopic plants help fix the climate? We think so. Our progress in this space was recently showcased at AlgaEurope 2024.
Knowing your stakeholders is key to responsible carbon dioxide removal governance
In our new paper, we offer a practical approach to handling the diverse interests of different groups involved in carbon dioxide removal technologies.
Enzyme-enhanced CO2 storage in rocks
Tapping into carbonic anhydrase enzymes to catalyse permanent mineral carbonation
Plans to stabilise Earth’s climate rely on emerging carbon removal technology – we need to get moving
Efforts to reduce emissions and decarbonise industry must be combined with new technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Australia can build an industry around this service.
Earth is heating up – but could the solution be right beneath our feet?
We’re exploring Enhanced Rock Weathering to speed up natural sequestration processes, with Australia’s agricultural soils showing great potential for tackling climate change.
Quantifying the ocean’s efficiency for enhanced carbon storage
Modelling deep ocean CO2 injection to understand its efficiency
Calcite: the versatile mineral shaping the future of carbon removal
Calcite, one of Earth's most common carbonate minerals, is key to both ancient formations and cutting-edge climate solutions.
Fieldwork in Woodbridge, Tasmania
We are planning to conduct a carefully planned, safe, small-scale experiment in Woodbridge, Tasmania in late 2024.
