Submission to Commonwealth Climate Change Authority Inquiry: Targets, Pathways and Progress: Submission of Australian Research Council Research Hub for Carbon Utilisation and Recycling

Description

Carbon reuse and recycling (CRR) involve capturing carbon dioxide emissions and converting from a range of sources, including the atmosphere itself, into valuable products. These technologies are particularly critical for 'hard to abate' industries such
as cement, steel, chemicals, plastics, and transport, which account for a significant portion of Australia's and the world's emissions. CRR technologies can help these industries manage carbon emissions by converting CO2 into fuels, chemicals, building materials, and other products, promoting a circular economy by using CO2 as a resource rather than treating it as waste.
