Plenary Panel: Carbon capture at the crossroads

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate Australia’s position in carbon capture and storage technology and its implications for industry and climate policy.
Panel discussion with key industry leaders
Evaluation of current carbon capture projects in Australia
Discussion of regional demand and climate policy impacts
Australia has the potential to become a leader in carbon capture technology due to existing resources.
Shifting climate policies could hinder the implementation and momentum of these technologies globally.
There is strong demand for decarbonisation solutions, but rapid adaptation is necessary to capitalize on opportunities.

Abstract

CCUS is critical to achieving real emissions reductions while maintaining industrial competitiveness. Australia is uniquely placed to be a global leader, with two of the world’s largest operating projects, extensive geological storage resources, strong regional demand for decarbonisation solutions. Can Australia move fast enough to turn these advantages into new industry. Will shifting climate policies blunt the technology’s global momentum?
