Projects

The Towards Net Zero Mission is building Australia’s national capability to support the transition to net zero emissions. Enabling Australia to prosper and grow in a global low carbon world through new economic, societal and environmental value.

We bring together research, industry, government, and communities to help Australia’s hard-to-abate sectors – including steel, aviation and agriculture – halve their emissions by 2035.

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

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - plane on tarmac

CSIRO is developing a range of tools and systems for optimising biomass production as well as fuel processing technologies.

hot and illuminated piece of steel

Innovative technologies and export diversification pathways to deliver jobs to the resources sector in the transition to a low emissions economy.

net zero agriculture

Supporting a profitable and sustainable low emissions agriculture industry; by scaling technologies, practices and encouraging widespread adoption.

Supporting regions in the transition to net zero

Partnering with regions and industries to create new low carbon growth industries and jobs for regional prosperity in our low emissions future

CSIRO Carbon capture and sequestration

Supporting industry transitions by investigating the development and deployment of technologies that sequester carbon in biological or geological stores.
