Projects

As we build out Australia’s national capability to support the transition to net zero emissions, our projects are focused on:

  • Low emissions steel
  • Sustainable Agriculture
  • Sustainable Aviation fuel
  • Industrial decarbonisation
  • Regional transition
  • Enabling technologies
towards net zero with sustainable aviation fuel

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is key to lowering the emissions footprint of the airline industry – the future of flying depends on it.

towards net zero forum

We hosted the Towards Net Zero Forum on 12 and 13 June at the State Library of Victoria.

We are creating a two-way learning network to connect our regions on the ground, so they can lean into the ecosystem and learn from other regions, experts, industries, and communities.  

CSIRo and Boeing SAF Roadmap

The roadmap is part of the critical work the Mission is undertaking to support Australia’s hardest to abate sectors to halve their emissions by 2035, and forms part of our Towards Net Zero Mission

net zero agriculture

Working with the Queensland Government, we developed the Low Emissions Pathways for Queensland Agrifood. This has informed the government's Low Emissions Agriculture Roadmap.

The India-Australia Green Steel Partnership will encourage innovative technologies and export diversification pathways to deliver jobs to the resources sector in the transition to a low emissions economy.

CSIRO Carbon capture and sequestration

We brought together scientists with expertise across a range of nature-based and engineered sequestration technologies, to look at their sequestration potential, barriers to uptake, and co-benefits.
