The range of carbon emissions reduction technologies is broad – from retrofits for existing compressors to vapour recovery units, carbon capture units and more cost-efficient wind turbines. Their economic viability can be often challenged. Upfront costs can be high, and businesses and investors are understandably cautious about technologies unproven at scale. Additionally, the absence of robust carbon pricing or tax breaks can make clean technologies less competitive. The energy industry, government, technology innovators and academia must work together to incentivise the financing needed to scale the technologies that will deliver the new energy system.
Attendee insights:
This session will explore how carbon reduction technologies can be made more commercially viable, accelerating the clean energy transition.
