Dr Birol and Frydenberg discussed a range of issues that focussed on three key areas, the first being energy security, the second area of discussion was new technologies including carbon capture and storage. The third area of focus in the discussion was the modernisaton of the International Energy Agency.
The use of clean coal for power generation was discussed. Dr Birol said “one of the tasks of the IEA is to share best practices amongst our member countries and beyond, and since energy is important topic in Australia, it is always so, that I have the privilege to share with the Mr Minister some of the experiences we have collected across the world and with the thought that they might be useful for Mr Minister and for the Australian government in general. We have been providing continuous support for the Finkel review.”
