International Symposium on
Green Transformation of Carbon Dioxide (ISGTCO2)

'Cooperating on a global opportunity'


Wednesday 29 November - Friday 1 December 2023
Brisbane, Australia



Welcome from the Chairs

It is with great pleasure we invite you to the first international Symposium on Green Transformation of Carbon Dioxide (ISGTCO2). The theme of the Symposium is 'Cooperating on a global opportunity' which reflects our ambitions of delivering collaborative research with a global impact. 

Please join us as we bring together leaders from research, government and industry across the world, to discuss CO2 mitigation solutions that will help humankind achieve net-zero emission targets.

We will collectively discover new ways to tackle challenges in CO2 capture and reduction technologies, including electrochemistry, catalysis, functional materials, catalysts, membranes, materials synthesis and characterisation, reactor design and manufacturing, computational simulation and modelling. 

We look forward to seeing you in Brisbane, Australia, in November 2023!
