Ensure long-term target and policy stability
Target and policy stability is essential in enabling the transition to a low-emission electricity sector by providing investors with the stability and long-term investment signals required to cost-effectively deploy capital-intensive low-emission technologies like renewables, nuclear and CCUS.
Establish carbon pricing and regulations
Carbon pricing, carbon taxes and the regulation of plant emissions can encourage coal-to-gas switching and provide an important long-term investment signal for low-emission technologies.
Shift policy to competitive auctions
Auctions for the centralised competitive procurement of renewables have become increasingly…

Co-ordinate and promote the development of CCUS hubs and shared networks
CCUS hubs can spread infrastructure costs between emitters and generate economies of scale to reach emitters that are smaller-scale or further away from identified CO2 storage sites. Governments can have a key role in the development of hubs by: Co-ordinating hub development through competitive solicitations that encourage collaboration across multiple sectors (e.g. industrial emitters, power plants). Efforts are already underway in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Ensuring legal and regulatory frameworks are designed to account for shared infrastructure networks that allow for non-discriminatory open access…
