A review of existing uses of SGGs

This assignment involved seeking a better understanding of the roles and relationships between the businesses involved in the import, handling, storage and disposal of bulk synthetic greenhouse gases in Australia. This incorporated preparing a series of supply chain maps and descriptions for all key sectors that use SGGs, detailed analysis of export activity and an assessment of the extent to which each industry participant is expected to be able to pass on the cost of an equivalent carbon tax on synthetic greenhouse gases.
