What does this instrument do?
According to its explanatory memorandum:
The purpose of the Industry Research and Development (Carbon Capture, Use and Storage Development Program) Instrument 2021 (the Legislative Instrument) is to prescribe the Carbon Capture, Use and Storage Development Program (the Program).
The funding for the Program has been secured through the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (the Department) 2020-2021 Budget. The Program provides $50 million as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technologies in Australia towards commercial operations. In particular, the Program provides funding to support pilot projects and pre-commercial activities for the capture of carbon dioxide for subsequent use or storage or the use or storage of carbon dioxide.
