Latest decarbonisation reports

Pathways for Australia

We've published a report which outlines rapid decarbonisation pathways for key sectors of the Australian economy.

G-PST Research Roadmap

Developed with Australia's Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and leading research institutions, Australia’s Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Research Roadmap details the research required to support Australia's transition to a stable, secure and affordable power system.

Calculating the costs of net zero emissions

A new CSIRO report ‘Exploring climate risk in Australia’ asks what the financial implications might be if we delay the transition to net zero emissions.

CO2 Utilisation Roadmap

Developed with government and industry, the CO2 Utilisation Roadmap explores the risks and opportunities associated with the scale-up of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) in Australia.

Attitudes to the energy transition

We've conducted the most comprehensive and representative survey of Australian attitudes to the renewable energy transition and different types of renewable energy infrastructure.

Carbon management technologies

Airthena™

We developed a simple and cost-effective solution to capture and recycle carbon dioxide from the air for use in a wide range of applications. Airthena™ takes advantage of tiny crystal sponges known as metal-organic frameworks, requiring only air and electricity to work.

CarbonLock

Developing verifiable, scalable, cost-effective, fast and long-lasting carbon removal solutions.

Removing carbon dioxide from ambient air

We are developing a technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air.
