CCUS Hub Concept Specification Report

This report serves as a technical document detailing the concept level overview for the Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) hub, developed by CSIRO in collaboration with the Northern Territory Government. It outlines the potential components and requirements for the CCUS hub as part of the Northern Territory Low Emission Carbon Capture Storage and Utilisation Hub Business Case project. The report discusses the infrastructure elements necessary for the hub, including CO2 import facilities, pipeline systems, and storage locations, while also providing indicative costs for various phased development scenarios. The document emphasizes the Northern Territory's natural resources and strategic position in energy exports and decarbonization efforts. It identifies the need for a collaborative approach to assess the viability of the CCUS hub, aiming to establish transition pathways for industries in the region. The report builds on previous work, providing a foundation for more detailed studies in the future.
