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.
