The white paper builds on the outcomes of our inaugural 2023 summit which brought together international atmospheric carbon removal leaders from government, industry, tech, science and NGOs to help define the success criteria and pathways for building an Australian atmospheric carbon removal industry that durably lowers global greenhouse gas concentrations in addition to - not instead of - deep emission reductions.

Our interactive panel discussion includes experts on atmospheric carbon removal from science, policy, and tech, including:
