Resources

The Australian Government is committed to creating a policy framework to expand Australia's resource base, increase the international competitiveness of our resources sector and improve the regulatory regime, consistent with the principles of environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
Carbon Storage Taskforce

The Carbon Storage Taskforce (CSTF) was established by the Government under the National Low Emissions Coal Initiative in October 2008, to develop the National Carbon Mapping and Infrastructure Plan. 

The Taskforce delivered its report to the Minister for Resources and Energy in September 2009.
