Global Webinar Series | 30 MINUTES WITH... Carbon Capture & Storage: Financing the Infrastructure of Decarbonisation
As governments and industries race toward net zero, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is emerging as a cornerstone of the global decarbonisation strategy. But can the infrastructure keep pace with ambition? Join us for a 30-minute panel discussion exploring the evolving CCS landscapes in both the UK and Australia, the policy frameworks shaping investment, and the financial models needed to scale.
Our panel of industry experts will share UK and Australian perspectives as they unpack the key challenges and opportunities in financing the infrastructure of tomorrow.
Discussion points:
- How to attract capital across the CCS value chain
- Balancing subsidies vs market-based mechanisms
- Viability of CCUS technology at scale
- Bankability across the CCS value chain (Indexed revenue streams, performance-linked payments and contractual protections
- Potential for carbon capture storage trade
- The UK example: (i) UK Net Zero goals and the role of CCS, (ii) current status of carbon capture in the UK, (iii) what's next for the UK Government (and the rest of the world)
- The Australian example: (i) potential of CCS in Aus, (ii) the issues/challenges (e.g. Gorgon CCS), (iii) what does the future of CCS in Australia look like/where is the Government going.
