Renewables have avoided 68 times as much climate pollution as CCS has, in Australia

Power sector emissions are 40% lower thanks to renewables. Fossil fuel mining, heavy industry and power (CCS-relevant sectors) have near-zero impact from CCS operation.

For each month, total renewable generation times coal/gas emissions intensity (tco2-e/kwh gen) (assuming all renewable gen met by same mix of coal and gas). All values in megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent
