CCUSNA WA Hubs Workshop Webinar Series: Setting the Scene: What is a CCUS Hub? – Andrew Ross (CSIRO)

In February 2026, CCUSNA will host an invitation‑only workshop, “What are the opportunities and challenges associated with developing a multi-user CCUS hub in WA (for Kwinana, Mid-West and the Pilbara regions)”

In the lead‑up to the workshop, CCUSNA is running a series of webinars for workshop participants, as well as for the broader community of CCUSNA members and subscribers.

These sessions will explore three key themes:

• Setting the scene
• A deeper dive into each region
• Global examples of operational and developing hubs

We will kick off the series with our first webinar with Setting the Scene – What is a CCUS Hub?.  Dr Andrew Ross from CSIRO will outline the key elements, opportunities, infrastructure and industries that can contribute to developing carbon capture, utilisation and storage hubs for low‑emissions precincts.

This webinar will be held on Tuesday 13 January 2026 at 11am Perth time.
