A leading authority on gas and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) has been appointed as the Australian oil and gas industry’s new Director of Net Zero Technologies as the country steps up its efforts to tackle climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
Brendan Beck, who has held senior roles at the World Bank and the International Energy Agency (IEA), will focus his work on critical climate change mitigation technologies including CCUS and clean hydrogen.
He said, “Technology development and deployment is at the heart of meeting climate mitigation targets in Australia and globally. The Australian oil and gas industry is already at the forefront of deploying the step-change technologies needed to reach net zero.
“Clean hydrogen, using natural gas with CCUS, is currently by far the lowest cost pathway to low-carbon hydrogen – meaning significantly more emissions reductions ‘bang for your buck’ compared to alternative pathways.”
