South Korea and Australia's ”Resources and Energy Ministers” meet... Promptly promote conclusion of ”Carbon Transfer Agreement”

The governments of South Korea and Australia are taking steps such as signing a carbon dioxide transfer agreement in order to smoothly advance cooperation in the field of CSS (carbon dioxide capture and storage), which is being promoted by companies in both countries.
We decided to move forward with this as soon as possible. South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said, ``Ahn Deok-geun, Minister of Industry, Trade and Resources, met Australian Madeleine King at a hotel in Seoul on the 2nd.
"We met with the Minister of Resources and discussed cooperation in the energy and resources field, including core minerals, CSS, and natural gas."
Both countries will capture and store carbon dioxide generated in South Korea, transport it to Australia, and then deplete it.
In order to ensure that the ``CCS Investment Project'' for permanent storage in depleted gas fields can proceed smoothly, we have decided to move ahead with procedures such as signing a ``carbon dioxide transfer agreement'' as soon as possible.
There was also consensus on the need to reduce dependence on specific countries for core minerals, such as by diversifying supply networks.
