Cross-border CO2 transportation policy readiness: positioning Australia in the global CCS market

Cross-border carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential for decarbonising the world’s and Asia-Pacific’s (APAC) industrial emissions. Globally, Europe and APAC indicate a high potential for cross-border transport with a forecast of 127 mtpa cross-border opportunity by 2035. Yet beyond geological advantages, successful cross-border CCS also requires coordinated policy frameworks and regulatory harmony. This paper presents a five-dimensional framework assessing cross-border CCS policies: domest
