Australia’s national science agency CSIRO has launched a new research Mission to help Australia’s regions and hard-to-abate industries transform and accelerate towards a low emissions economy. An initial AUD 90 million will be invested in CSIRO’s Towards Net Zero Mission, a large-scale scientific and collaborative research initiative bringing together research, industry, government, and communities to help Australia’s hardest to abate sectors, including steel and agriculture, halve their emissions by 2035.he Towards Net Zero Mission will help Australia respond to the multiple challenges facing our regions as we work to achieve our net zero ambitions and willSupport a profitable and sustainable agriculture industry in a low emissions worldIdentify what is required to develop new low emissions steel and iron ore processesIdentify what is required to develop sustainable aviation fuel to support our aviation sectorHelp regions navigate the transition to net zero through new collaborations, analysis, and supportExpand Australia’s carbon offset capacity by using and scaling negative emission technologies such as carbon sequestrationThe Towards Net Zero Mission Lead Dr Michael Battaglia said “The transition to net zero is underway and gaining pace across Australia. We see industry starting to transform itself, setting goals and testing technology. We know that the transition to net zero involves more than just low emissions technology. If these technologies are to be widely adopted, we need to create pathways for them that support prosperity and generate other benefits to the environment and society.”
