CSIRO has launched the Carbon Capture Materials Acceleration Centre (CCMAC) in Perth to integrate automated material discovery, testing, scale-up, and pilot validation of direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal technologies, aiming to accelerate cost-effective CO2 capture solutions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now access one integrated lab in Australia that moves carbon capture materials from discovery to pilot scale under one roof, cutting your development time if you work on direct air capture. Public funding has created a rare chance to scale up materials quickly before private markets mature.
