What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-10-21

Track; not yet

Why
Eight containerised units are operating as an integrated demonstration, built from commercially available unit operations and backed by a $27.5M Series A and project funding round and a $6.5M Commonwealth CCTP grant for Wallaby. But no performance, energy or cost data has been disclosed, nothing is independently verified, and the headline potential figures are national estimates, so the evidence supports watching rather than relying on it.
Next
Re-check for published Tortuga operating data (water recovery %, kWh per tonne CO2, tonnes removed), Isometric credit issuance for Wallaby, and Monarch Phase 2 progress.
