Objective
Locking carbon in minerals can no longer be discounted as a viable carbon capture/storage solution for mitigating climate change. Mineral carbonation is a naturally occurring geological process that contributes to reducing emissions by permanently mineralising carbon. Diverse geology and extensive coastlines position Australia to be a leader in withdrawing atmospheric carbon through mineral carbonation, but acceleration of this natural process to achieve efficient, high-volume capture remains a scientific- and engineering-challenge. The Locking Carbon in Minerals CES (the symposium) will spark discussion on the fundamental research required and foster collaboration with our industry, university, and government partners, which are critical overcoming global challenges towards reaching net-zero.
Limited spaces available.

Programme & Themes
The Locking Carbon in Minerals CES will showcase a diverse range of keynote and invited speakers from industry, academia, and government, representing the international research- and industry community on mineral carbonation. The symposium will focus on new mineral carbonation solutions to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate and on the status of mineral carbonation technologies in the following themes:
- Theme 1 - Setting the scene: Mineral carbonation as a pathway to tackle climate change, Australian geology, natural systems.
- Theme 2 - Ex-situ mineral carbonation, geochemistry, mineralogy, and industry activities.
- Theme 3 - In-situ mineral carbonation and engineering challenges.
- Theme 4 - Future focus, breakout sessions, and collaboration opportunities.
Confirmed keynote speakers:
- Sasha Wilson (University of Alberta, Canada)
- Greg Dipple (University of British Columbia, Canada)
- Dianne Mitchinson (University of British Columbia, Canada)
- Chen Zhu (Indiana University, USA)
- Marguerite Godard (CNRS Geosciences Montpellier, France)
- Lennart Bach (University of Tasmania, Australia)
- Ralf Haese (University of Melbourne, Australia)
- Simon Holford (University of Adelaide, Australia)
The detailed Symposium Programme is being finalised and will be shared soon.
Goals & Outcomes
- Develop new relationships and strengthen existing connections between individuals and organisations working in mineral carbonation within Australia and globally,
- Highlight existing challenges across the international community, denoting where Australia’s existing capability should focus development efforts to elevate mineral carbonation to an industry-ready solution.
