CSIRO opens $10 million Perth lab to test carbon capture at scale
CSIRO is building a $10 million laboratory in Perth. It is about the size of a soccer pitch. It will test direct carbon capture materials in real-world conditions.
The national science agency CSIRO is building a unique testing facility in Perth. It is designed to move carbon capture research forward.
The $10 million laboratory is about the size of a soccer pitch. It will let scientists test direct carbon capture materials at large scale.
They will test in real-world conditions. The facility moves work from laboratory shelves to testing stage.
This connects theory to practical use. CSIRO's director of carbon capture Colin Wood said the facility will help Australian researchers speed up the technology.
Carbon capture is a key technology for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Countries are working toward climate goals.
