The AURORA project is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming 18th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference (GHGT‑18), taking place from 25 – 29 October 2026 in Perth, Western Australia. GHGT‑18 is the premier international forum dedicated to advancing carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) research, policy, and deployment, bringing together researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers from around the globe to accelerate climate‑critical solutions.
AURORA’s Contribution to PCCC-8
The AURORA consortium has submitted four high‑impact abstracts to the GHGT‑18 Call for Abstracts, reflecting the project’s diverse scientific excellence and multidisciplinary approach. While the official conference programme will be published following acceptance notifications later this spring, these contributions span key areas of CCUS research, from novel capture technologies and process optimisation to modelling and system‑level integration.
Each abstract reinforces AURORA’s commitment to enhancing carbon capture performance and scalability, addressing technical challenges that are central to industrial decarbonisation and climate mitigation efforts.
Looking Ahead
With abstract submissions now complete and the conference scheduled for October 2026, all eyes are on the upcoming announcement of accepted presentations. Stay tuned for updates on which AURORA contributions will feature in the GHGT‑18 technical programme and how the project will be represented in Perth.
What Is GHGT‑18?
Now in its 18th edition, the GHGT conference series is the world’s foremost event on greenhouse gas reduction technologies. The conference plays a central role in shaping the future of CCUS innovation by showcasing breakthrough scientific research, real‑world demonstration projects, and policy and regulatory developments. Delegates participate in plenary sessions, technical presentations, panels, and networking events that cover the full CCUS value chain.
Hosted by an Australian consortium in partnership with leading international CCUS organisations, GHGT‑18 will welcome over 1,000 global experts to Perth, a vibrant hub of CCUS research and deployment.
Why This Matters
Participation in GHGT‑18 places AURORA’s research at the forefront of international CCUS discourse. It offers a unique opportunity to:
- Showcase innovation to a global audience of researchers, industry leaders and policymakers.
- Engage with peers and explore collaborations across academia, government, and industry.
- Contribute to the scientific agenda that will shape CCUS deployment strategies worldwide.
GHGT‑18’s technical programme covers a wide range of themes, from capture and storage technologies to economic, regulatory, and societal aspects of CCUS, making it a key moment for AURORA’s findings to influence and inspire further research and implementation.
