CO2CRC Symposium 2026
Times are shown in your local time zone GMT
Submission deadline - 29 SEPTEMBER 2025

CO2CRC and the 2026 Symposium Technical Program Committee invite you to submit an abstract for consideration to present at the CO2CRC CCS Symposium 2026.
This leading Australian CCS event’s theme is ‘The role of CCS in confronting energy realities’, and it will bring together international experts, senior government officials, industry leaders, and researchers to discuss the opportunities and real-world challenges in the energy transition and in enabling large scale decarbonisation.

This year’s symposium will feature a mix of plenary talks, technical sessions, and panel discussions, with a focus on practical deployment, field data, and breakthrough innovations. Presenters are encouraged to share lessons from demonstration projects, applied research, and enabling technologies.

Presenting at the CO2CRC Symposium is a unique opportunity to share your work with a targeted audience of CCS decision-makers, technical experts, and policymakers. This year’s symposium will also feature a flash talk poster session where presenters deliver a short, impactful introduction to their poster before the poster viewing. Sessions are designed to be dynamic, with interactive Q&A and panel discussions to maximise engagement and knowledge exchange.

Presenters are encouraged to share lessons from demonstration projects, applied research, and enabling technologies. We strongly encourage submissions from early career professionals, students, and underrepresented groups in the CCS community. Contributions from diverse professional backgrounds, spanning industry, government, and academia, are welcomed.

The John Tyndall Award

 The John Tyndall Award is CO2CRC’s highest honour, presented biennially at the Symposium to recognise the most outstanding science in carbon capture and storage (CCS). 

Named after 19th-century Irish scientist John Tyndall, whose groundbreaking experiments revealed the role of carbon dioxide and water vapour as greenhouse gases, the award celebrates research that has advanced understanding, driven innovation, and delivered meaningful impact for global CCS deployment.

The technical topics sought for the Symposium are:

  • Geological and geophysical assessment for CO₂ storage sites
  • CO₂ plume migration, reservoir response, and long-term containment modelling
  • Geomechanical modelling and coupling of THMC processes


  • Engineered injection and pressure management approaches in CO₂ storage
  • Lessons from demonstration projects and scale-up strategies


  • Monitoring approaches for effective onshore and offshore CO₂ storage projects
  • Multi-source data integration for monitoring, conformance, and performance assessment


  • AI, machine learning, and digital twins for CO₂ storage
  • Data analytics for modelling, optimisation, and anomaly detection


  • Technical and commercial risk management
  • Infrastructure re-use for CCS
  • CO₂ transport systems
  • Regulatory developments, permitting, and project delivery


  • CCS applications for cement, steel, refining, and other energy-intensive sectors
  • DAC, BECCS, and utilisation technologies



CO2CRC seek clear, concise abstracts that are directly relevant to the technical areas listed above. We recommend your abstract focus on:

  • The problem or opportunity your work addresses
  • The methods or approach used (field trial, modelling, monitoring, etc.)
  • The key findings or insights (preliminary results are welcome)
  • The implications or applications for CCS deployment


Please ensure your abstract clearly explains what was done, why it matters, and what others can learn from it. Avoid overly general statements.


< 300 words in length and should not contain any pictures, tables, footnotes or references.
