Morrison Government is ready to throw money at Carbon Capture, or any technology that might delay the process of transition but not accelerate it to clean energy. Rather to a politicized position of a slightly “cleaner energy”, will do. Then promote and have that heralded as the LNP’s great. With a focus on gas and technologies widely spread rather than a concentration on what we already know works delay has become their goal. A delay for donations their preference.
For both types of capture to achieve their stated purpose, the additional energy used must not emit any carbon — it must come from renewable energy sources. If it weren’t being used here, this zero-carbon energy could otherwise be used to directly meet our energy needs, making carbon capture technology inefficient and highly expensive.
