Commonwealth Carbon Capture Exploration Release a ‘Boost to New Net Zero Industry’

Abstract

The oil & gas sector lauded the Commonwealth for opening up new areas of Australia to explore for suitable carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) sites which APPEA said would help reduce emissions and create jobs in a growing sector. Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association Chief Executive Samantha McCulloch said the Federal Government’s release in May of greenhouse gas storage acreage was a positive step supporting the growing deployment of CCUS technology.
