Join the conversation between ACIL Allen director Owen Kelp and Underscore's host and ACIL Allen CEO Paul Hyslop as they dive into the Net Zero challenge facing Australia. They review the current government modelling and assess possible solutions and the potential economic cost. 

Kelp and Hyslop discuss the many complexities of the issue, including the role of existing and as yet unknown future technologies, the potential role for electrification, the potential of hydrogen as a zero-emissions fuel, the prospect of carbon storage in soil or through capture from industrial processes, whether there is a role for nuclear energy and the use of offsets in Australia's chase of net-zero.
