Cool Energy is an unlisted private company focusing on a new type of gas-sweetening technology, which aims to globally commercialise high carbon dioxide gas fields.

Developed by Curtin University in Western Australia, the technology extracts the carbon dioxide contaminant from the gas in a form suitable for geo-sequestration or other industrial applications.
