Methane is one of the world’s most potent greenhouse gases, with a global warming potential approximately 84 times that of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Although it accounts for a smaller share of total greenhouse gas emissions, methane contributes significantly to climate change, making its reduction one of the fastest pathways to mitigating global warming.
Our Methane Control Program is developing proprietary zeolite-based technologies designed to capture and biologically oxidise fugitive methane emissions before they are released into the atmosphere.
Developed in collaboration with Griffith University, the project combines advanced manufactured zeolites with specialised methanotrophic microorganisms to create innovative biofiltration systems capable of delivering substantial methane abatement across multiple industries.
Since commencing in 2023, we have progressively advanced the project from laboratory research through simulated field evaluation and real-world validation.
Research has successfully demonstrated that the Company’s proprietary zeolite-based biofilter combines physical adsorption with biological oxidation to efficiently eliminate fugitive methane emissions.
Independent testing has consistently confirmed strong methane oxidation performance, providing confidence that the technology can be further developed towards commercial environmental applications.
Extensive research undertaken with Griffith University has produced encouraging technical outcomes.
Key achievements include:
These results demonstrate the significant potential of zeoteCH₄® as an innovative methane abatement solution capable of supporting industry decarbonisation initiatives.
Innovation remains central to our methane control strategy.
Our intellectual property portfolio includes proprietary zeolite manufacturing technologies and a patent-pending technology covering the application of zeolite-based materials and methanotrophic inoculum for methane elimination.
The patent application, titled ‘Zeolites for Methane Control’, was lodged in June 2024 following the successful research program and datasets generated through trials led by Griffith University.
This growing intellectual property portfolio underpins our long-term strategy of developing differentiated environmental technologies with strong commercial potential.
Reducing methane emissions is recognised globally as one of the fastest and most effective methods of slowing near-term climate change.
Our Methane Control Program is developing practical technologies capable of helping industry reduce greenhouse gas emissions while supporting broader environmental sustainability objectives.
By combining proprietary advanced materials, environmental biotechnology, and Australian innovation, the Company is positioning itself to deliver scalable methane abatement solutions that contribute to a lower-emissions future.
