Our Work Health & Energy Submission to the Low Emissions Technology Statement 2022

Submission to the Low Emissions Technology Statement 2022

There is much of positive value in the roadmap, including ultra-low cost solar, low emissions steel, aluminium, and potentially cement, charging infrastructure for electrified transport, and reducing livestock emissions. However, there are missed opportunities in some sectors, notably the exclusion of wind, particularly offshore wind, the transport sector, and the building sector. There is an emphasis on carbon capture and storage which has not been shown to work at scale and economically anywhere in the world. Blue and grey hydrogen are not “clean”, and pursuit of these technologies rather than green hydrogen will prolong the use of fossil fuels leading to higher emissions, not lower.
