Naming Rights Opportunity for the Otway International Test Centre
Partner with the World's Leading Carbon Geological Sequestration Research Facility
The Otway International Test Centre (OITC) has stood at the frontier of carbon capture and storage science for more than two decades. As the world's only fully instrumented, commercially designed CCS research facility - with over $200 million in infrastructure investment, more than 500 peer-reviewed publications, and a track record that has directly shaped commercial CCS projects - the OITC is the global touchpoint for commercial scale carbon storage performance, risk management, leading technology, and regulatory compliance.
For the first time, CO2CRC is inviting a strategic partner to acquire exclusive naming rights to this world-class carbon storage research facility. This is not a conventional sponsorship. It is a partnership in scientific leadership that places your organisation at the intersection of proven, evidence-based climate action and the next frontier of CCUS innovation - from geological storage and direct air capture to BECCS and internationally certified voluntary carbon credits.
Why This Partnership, Why Now
Governments, investors, and shareholders are demanding that climate commitments move beyond aspirational statements into verifiable, science-backed evidence. The OITC is the only pure research facility that provides that evidence at field scale, in real geological formations, under the most rigorous scientific and regulatory conditions in the world.
Naming rights to the OITC deliver what no carbon offset programme can — a direct association with the research that defines international CCS standards, informs government climate policy, and underpins the commercial decarbonisation projects driving the world’s net-zero transition.
What the Partnership Includes
The naming rights partnership delivers benefits across six key areas:
- Global visibility across all OITC assets, publications, and major international climate events;
- Co-branding in scientific journals and CO2CRC's global communications network;
- Access to private executive roundtables with government and regulatory leaders;
- Early visibility of new carbon management technology trial results;
- Tailored CCUS education and training; and
- Eligibility for Australian Government R&D Tax Incentives1.
This is an AUD $10M partnership, structured as a five-year commitment at AUD $2 million per annum, with flexible terms under a not-for-profit research partnership agreement.
