Australia's Experience on CCUS

Completed

The 5th Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference

The Asia CCUS Network was successfully launched on 22-23rd June 2021. Currently 14 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, India and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions are joining the Network. Members share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region, and the Asia CCUS Network aims to contribute through the collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS through organizing knowledge sharing conference regarding CCUS.

The Australian Government is focused on accelerating large-scale deployment of CCUS under its Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan through a range of measures and initiatives such as the National CCUS Technology Emissions Abatement Strategy (NCAS), the CCUS Development Fund and CCUS Hubs and Technologies programs. Underpinning these efforts is the technical and research work undertaken by key scientific and research organisations such as the CSIRO and Geoscience Australia. Australia is interested in working with like-minded countries on ways to deploy CCUS and values forums such as the Asia CCUS Network to share experiences and expertise.

This conference aims to share the experience from Australia on CCUS policy development as well as experiences from CCUS Development Fund grantees. There will be three guest speakers from Australia. Corporate Carbon who has received funding to support the development of direct air capture technology couple with solar PV that can produce a clean fuel with carbon neutrality.

The second speaker will be from Mineral Carbonation International who will talk about their world-first mineral carbonation mobile demonstration plant. And the final speaker is from Carbon Transport and Storage, a Glencore company, who's project aims to demonstrate the technical viability, integration and safe operation of CCS in the Surat Basin in Queensland, Australia.
