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.

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.
