McAllister, Sen Jenny

Senator McALLISTER: Are you saying that it is then, once it reaches that price, free, that there is no economic cost? Ms Evans : No. To be fair, you have chosen the one of the five where the characteristic of that goal is a little different, because for carbon capture and storage, unlike all of the other things, for hydrogen—that's a genuine fuel choice, no matter whatever the situation is—for carbon capture and storage you would need to be doing it explicitly to do an emissions reduction activity. And we say in the road map that that might need some specific interventions to have that particular technology moved forward. But for the others, they are definitely in this realm: if you get the technology down to a particular cost they will simply become the natural choice.
