International Collaboration

Australia and Japan are working together to achieve a net-zero emissions future through the Japan-Australia Partnership on Decarbonisation through Technology. This collaboration aims to harness the strengths of both nations in developing and deploying advanced decarbonisation technologies, highlighting their shared commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development globally.

Working with RITE

The Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) is a Japanese research organization focused on developing and promoting advanced technologies for environmental conservation and sustainable development, including carbon capture and storage.

The collaboration between CSIRO and RITE at the In Situ Laboratory is pivotal for advancing carbon capture and storage technologies, with a particular focus on understanding fault lines and their impact on CO₂ storage. By working together, these esteemed organizations combine their expertise to investigate how faults and geological formations interact with injected CO₂ and demonstrate innovative monitoring technologies, a critical factor in ensuring the safety and efficacy of long-term carbon storage. This collaboration enables more precise modelling and management of fault-related risks, resulting in improved techniques for mitigating potential leakage and enhancing storage reliability. Insights from this research are crucial for refining storage methods and developing robust monitoring systems, significantly contributing to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve climate targets.
