Plenary 1 - Confronting Energy Realities

Abstract Description
Significant progress towards a low carbon world has been made, but the rate of change has to increase, just as the low hanging fruit has been captured. This is an opportunity for CCS. 

Not all CCS projects are likely to be successful. This session considers the drivers for CCS, the necessary conditions for a successful project, and competitive alternatives in pursuing net zero carbon outcomes.

Community support for CCS cannot be taken for granted. Already onshore CCS has been challenged, and this is limiting project options. 

This session reviews the strategic future of CCS with both its opportunities and traps.
