Melbourne startup Kapture has unveiled technology to collect carbon emissions from exhaust fumes and embed them in concrete, calling it a groundbreaking development for the greenhouse gas-heavy cement industry. Its solution can sequester and store carbon emissions from internal combustion engines, including diesel generators, diverting CO2 from the atmosphere while creating a new, high-quality replacement for traditional cement ingredients.

Australia’s transport sector needs to decarbonise fast in order to meet emissions reductions in line with limiting global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. But focusing solely on electric vehicles (EVs) to get us there is unlikely to be enough. Transport is Australia’s third-largest and fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. Currently contributing 21% of Australia’s total emissions, it is projected to become the sector with the highest emissions by the end of the decade.
