Our mission

Using a holistic approach, we're developing solutions to reduce demand, reduce and eliminate emissions, and remove greenhouse gases. We do this by translating knowledge, driving innovation, fostering collaboration, providing evidence-based information to our decision-makers, and educating leaders.

Our vision

Title : Translate

Description : Develop a nationally and globally competitive R&D Hub for prototyping, test-beds and translation of research.

Our impact

¸ßÇ帣ÀûƬ is driving real change—here are some of the ways we're creating a net zero future:

  • Creating an emissions-free aviation sector by optimising fuel efficiencies, aircraft design, adoption of hydrogen fuel cells and the development of battery and hybrid engines
  • Developing new construction materials – such as green steel and green concrete – that improve longevity while reducing waste and environmental impact
  • Creating digital twins of wind farms to enhance their performance in changing environmental conditions, extend their lifespan and increase the consistency of energy generation
  • Collaborating with industry across multiple sectors to develop next-generation batteries with greater storage capacity and a longer lifespan
  • Working with young people to understand the impacts of climate anxiety and address the future mental health implications and identify appropriate support structures
  • Helping governments create incentives for the uptake of low-emission technologies, products and services.
