What happened
The United Nations Environment Programme called for greater use of technology to limit global warming. Banyu Carbon is preparing to demonstrate its carbon capture technology in a fridge-sized prototype at the CSIRO's In-Situ Laboratory in Western Australia starting October 25. The technology uses a specialized dye to absorb carbon dioxide in the dark, which is then released using sunlight.

Why it matters
The trial takes place amid growing investment in carbon capture and storage. The technology being tested in Western Australia builds upon research that was patented by the CSIRO in 2014 and licensed to Banyu Carbon in 2024.
