Implication

Analysis of CCUS hub opportunities reveals high CO2 emission sources in Western Australia, highlighting economic feasibility challenges.

Key Points

  • Western Australia has abundant geological storage resources ideal for carbon capture and storage.
  • The Pilbara CCUS hub aims to achieve up to 40 Mtpa CO2 through targeted emissions sources.
  • Establishing low-emissions hydrogen production is key to expanding the CCUS hub's potential.
  • High costs of post-combustion capture and infrastructure necessitate higher carbon pricing or incentives.
