What is their position ?
Australia stands in favor of the inclusion of CSS in the CDM activities. It considers that it would send a positive message to developing countries and businesses. It made a list of all the potential benefits of the inclusion of CCS in CDM:
- It provides an economic incentive for developing countries
- It provides developing countries access to the same economic incentives available for other emission abatement technologies
- As a voluntary mechanism, it supports the right of developing countries to choose their preferred development path, including a choice not to use CCS
- The application of rigorous project approval criteria will promote best practice deployment of CCS
It also has proposed some core elements and drafts texts for CCS in the CDM.
