Minister, I note that the Centre for International Environmental Law has conducted research showing that the 28 CCS facilities currently operating globally have a capacity to capture only 0.1 per cent of fossil fuel emissions, or 37 megatonnes of CO2, annually. Is this evidence that CCS is a false solution for reducing emissions, and, therefore, this bill is merely a distraction from the failure to develop and implement effective and meaningful climate policy?
