Session 5. Oral Presentation for: Findings from the Northern Territory Low Emissions Hub CCUS business case project

Presented on 27 May 2025: Session 5 CSIRO has led a consortium in the delivery of a carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) business case project. The project has assessed the requirements for a CCUS hub located in the vicinity of the Middle Arm, Darwin, Northern Territory. The particular emphasis of this project has been to understand how a CCUS hub development could link to wider decarbonisation activities and future industrial development. The outcomes from the project are broken into three parts. (1) Northern Territory and regional understanding of macro-economic drivers, emissions, product markets and best practice hub examples. (2) CCUS hub technical definition and technical risk reduction studies including a power systems optimisation study, identification of sector coupling opportunities, a CO2 shipping study and a Northern Territory CO2 utilisation roadmap. (3) Mapping the policy and regulatory environment, understanding the economic impacts of the CCUS hub development and suggested execution plans. To access the Oral Presentation click the link below.
