I don't think I can add much to what I've said over the course of the past five or six days. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that removing carbon from the atmosphere through CCUS is a key part of keeping global warming to between 1.5 and two degrees. The Climate Change Authority has said that strong and urgent emission cuts, together with the growth of carbon sequestration, is critical if the world is to achieve its net zero goals by next century. The CSIRO has said that CCUS is part of a suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions from Australia's energy system. And ultimately the decision to deploy those technologies will be a matter for proponents.
