11:30 Panel Discussion: Investments Are Pouring Into Carbon Capture Tech, But Challenges Still Remain
  • While many countries committed to the Paris Agreement with plans and targets for mitigating their CO2 emissions, but what are the significant misconception of CCUS?
  • How regulatory policy can help to accelerate the development of CCUS technology in keeping on track of net-zero carbon emission by 2050?
  • Funding challenges – strategies in financing to fuel the various stages to commercialization CCUS technology despite some sort of funding support at early development stage

13:30 CO2 Utilisation Roadmap: How Emerging CCU Technologies Could Be Used To Support Growth Opportunities In Australia
  • Explore the opportunities presented by emerging carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies for Australia to support new industries and reduce carbon emissions.
  • Determine the key advantages, barriers, and considerations to support scale-up for identified areas of CCU opportunity for Australia by drawing on extensive national and international consultation, modelling and analysis.
  • Provide key recommendations to facilitate the rapid deployment and upscaling of those CCU technologies identified as having the most potential.

14:00 Future Of CO2 Conversion Tech In Reproducing Industrial Products With CO2 In A Transition Towards A Green Economy
  • Retrofitting CCUS technology at CO2 point source to capture produced CO2 and convert it into hugely valuable to industry
  • Creating nanoparticles that act as a catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into syngas – a mix of hydrogen and carbon monoxide used in industrial manufacturing
  • Scaling the potential of its technology that applies to convert wider scope of waste CO2 emitted by power plants
