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.

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.

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.

Explainer: What is ocean alkalinity enhancement?
The ocean is already the largest store of carbon dioxide on the planet and has the potential to store even more. Learn about ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) and our research focus in this area.

Rising to the challenge: CarbonLock 2024 Conference
Over 90 net zero professionals gathered at Hobart from 4-6 June, 2024 to discuss how we might realise atmospheric carbon removal in Australia.

Andrew Lenton on ABC RN Drive: Why scientists are trying to grow rocks
We spoke to ABC Radio National's Drive host Andy Park about our what we're up to in CarbonLock, including work to better understand biomineralising microbes found in stromatolites.
