        - fossil Carbon export tax (Prof Ross Garnaut and Dr Rod Sims model)
        - fracking ban
        - circular bioeconomy (see below)
        - renewable energy (see below)
        - water
            - Redox Flow Desalination (RFD)

            - advanced Carbon materials 
                - biomass
                - Biochar 
                - plastic upcycling/Pyrolysis 
                - more funding for Universities

            - biomass + big batteries for dispatchable power, grid firming and grid reliability 
                - biomass to bioelectricity, ?heat and biochar
                - RFDs
                - Biochar to Carbon based solid state batteries
                - Biochar to Carbon based perovskite solar Photo Voltaic cells->panels
