CO2CRC
Building a low emissions future
CO2CRC is Australia’s leading carbon capture, utilisation and storage research organisation with over 20 years of experience safely capturing, storing and monitoring CO2.
CO2CRC’s research portfolio extends to clean hydrogen and other carbon management technologies such as Direct Air Capture and Carbon Negative Biorefineries.
In collaboration with internationally respected industry, academic and government partners CO2CRC delivers carbon management technologies to the world.
“Investment into research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) is one of the most powerful levers a nation can pull to secure its long-term economic prosperity, technological sovereignty, and environmental resilience.
It is not merely an expenditure, it is an investment in a country’s capacity to generate new industries, create high-value employment, and maintain global competitiveness. CO2CRC is a leader in Carbon Management Technologies.“

Applied CCS research in Australia
CO2CRC conducts CCS research from fundamental concepts right through to field scale deployment.
Through CO2CRC’s Otway International Test Centre we bridge the technology innovation gap and advance research developed in universities and progress towards industry deployment and commercialisation.
Optimising storage
Develop and demonstrate commercially focussed and relevant reservoir management technologies to improve injection, storage, modelling and monitoring efficiencies, materially lower costs for project proponents and make CO2 storage more widely viable
Reducing capture costs
Reduce capture costs and improve capture efficiency via the development and demonstration of new capture technologies.
Enhancing CO2 utilisation
Improve utilisation and storage efficiency and reduce utilisation and storage costs by developing and demonstrating new CO2 utilisation technologies
Enabling Hydrogen Storage & Utilisation
Facilitate the accelerated roll-out of the emerging low-emissions hydrogen economy in Australia, to the benefit of Members, the wider Australian community, and the environment.
Collaboration, Leadership & Education
Continuously enhance CO2CRC’s value to Members, government and other stakeholders via focussed and ongoing communication, collaboration, and educational activities.
The Otway International Test Centre
Owned and operated by CO2CRC, the Otway International Test Centre is an Australian National Research Asset and provides the best subsurface research infrastructure globally for the development of carbon management technologies at commercially relevant scale.
