Hodgins-May, Sen Steph (The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT)

Senator HODGINS-MAY: I've got some questions about Bonaparte later, which might go into detail on that. CCS is frequently modelled in decarbonisation pathways with a capture rate of 90 per cent. Is this the assumed capture rate that the Australian government adopts when modelling CCS in climate projections? Do you know? Ms Rowley : When we deal with the emissions projections, CCS is incorporated to the extent that it's been adopted by industrial facilities. In Australia at the moment, there are two CCS plants operating associated with gas production facilities, and the capture rates are informed by both what they report to the Clean Energy Regulator as part of their annual greenhouse gas emissions reporting obligations and the outlook for the operation of that plant in any future or intended investments.
