The default response would be to increase capacity at existing manufacturing centres. Although feasible, it may be advantageous to consider the development of local supply chains for the purposes of CCS. Local supply chains may offer increased reliability as they have a higher degree of insulation from international instabilities. Furthermore, there are also opportunities for job creation or retention, as well as the potential for lower supply chain emissions. Socio-economic analyses would be required to quantify the value-added from local job creation, relative to potential deployment cost increases. This can also help identify socially equitable pathways for deployment.
