Brendan Beck has joined APPEA to help emitters use technology to lower emissions.
The scheme is expected to force heavy emitters towards technologies such as CCS and green hydrogen, and the Labor government has promised trade-exposed businesses $600 million from the $1.9 billion Powering the Regions Fund to help them reduce their emissions.
“If you look at sectors such as cement, or iron, steel, or chemicals there’s significant analysis that says that reaching net zero in economies is likely to need [carbon capture and storage] and hydrogen to get there,” said Mr Beck.KC8 Capture Technologies said it will construct and install a demonstration plant to capture carbon dioxide
Mr Beck joins APPEA from the World Bank where he established carbon capture utilisation and storage programs in Nigeria, South Africa and elsewhere. His World Bank role also involved low-carbon hydrogen, assessing domestic production and use opportunities as well as export potential in the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
