Researchers involved in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology’s (FEIT) Recovered Resources Initiative are pleased to announce that the Faculty is forging a new partnership with the Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA).

CODA is an independent initiative working with industry, government and the community to create a collaborative and sustainable approach to decommissioning Australia’s aging oil and gas infrastructure. Its research shows there is more than US$40 billion of decommissioning work necessary over the coming 50 years in Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry alone – over half of which needs to start within the next decade.

The mission to develop solutions to recover and repurpose industrial and domestic waste streams is well aligned with CODA, an organisation dedicated to growing a world-class oil and gas decommissioning industry in Australia.

Part of that goal is supporting the development of new solutions, markets and supply chains for the decommissioning waste streams.
