Carbon Capture Technologies Program – Round 2
Tender ID: 609102
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Carbon Capture Technologies Program aims to accelerate the research, development and demonstration of novel and emerging carbon management technologies to address Australia’s hard-to-abate emissions and residual emissions. Grants will be offered to pilot and demonstration projects that capture, utilise and remove CO2 and have the potential to create new, low-emissions or net-zero industries.
Examples of eligible technologies, include but are not limited to:
- novel or emerging carbon capture and/or utilisation for hard-to-abate sectors
- novel or emerging carbon removal technologies such as
- direct air capture
- enhanced rock weathering
- biomass carbon removal and storage, including durable sequestration of carbon in biochar
- mineral carbonation technology, such as capturing carbon in building and other materials.
Conventional and land-based approaches that leverage natural biological systems, without technological intervention, are not eligible. This includes:
- afforestation/reforestation,
- peatland or wetland restoration
- agroforestry are excluded from this program.
The objectives of the program are to:
- accelerate the development of emerging priority CO2 capture, utilisation, and removal technologies
- support research, development and demonstration to advance technological and commercial readiness of novel or emerging carbon capture, utilisation and removal technologies in hard-to-abate industries such as cement, chemicals and steel
- demonstrate verifiable permanence of CO2 sequestered via a range of utilisation applications
- support capability development in novel or emerging carbon removal technologies.
Eligibility:

Partner with other organisations
You can partner with one or more other organisations that also meet the eligibility criteria. But you must decide who the lead organisation is.
The lead organisation must fill out the application form.
If we give your group the grant, the lead organisation:
- signs the grant agreement
- is responsible for making sure your group follows the rules in the grant agreement.
