Speaker agenda
Game Changer? The EU’s Net Zero Industry Act and its implications for Carbon Management in Australia
The European Union’s Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) is an important and timely development that holds implications for the future of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CCS-based carbon dioxide removal. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of Article 18 of the Act which introduced an unprecedented obligation on EU oil and gas producers to contribute toward the EU’s target of 50 million tonnes of annual CO2 injection capacity to be achieved by 2030. Drawing on these EU developments, together with insights from recent developments in CCS policy in the UK, and the US, this session will draw out lessons, implications, and opportunities for Australia to inform and guide future strategies for carbon management.
