The CO2 Removal Network is focused on approaches to reduce carbon dioxide with a recognition of the inherent embeddedness of the technological, social and ecological in solving this global challenge.
The Network aims to develop transdisciplinary approaches to address this key issue, to generate real solutions by bringing technological, social, economic, and governance perspectives into dialogue with one another in a meaningful way that leads to real-world outcomes.
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network.
Bundoora-based development and scaling of socio-ecological and technical pathways to remove carbon dioxide in partnership with RMIT’s neighbours.
Site-specific projects in regional Victoria and beyond that draw on local strengths and place-based opportunities to develop and scale socio-ecological and technical pathways for Australia to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, in order to minimise the effects of climate change globally.
