JOGMEC, Inpex plan carbon storage project in Australia's Bonaparte basin
SUMMARY
The joint research agreement will support Inpex as it assesses the feasibility of using greenhouse gas permit G-7-AP for long-term geological storage of CO2.
By Shardul SharmaJapan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and Inpex have signed an agreement to study the feasibility of developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Australia’s Bonaparte basin, they said on December 6 in a joint statement.
The joint research agreement will support Inpex as it assesses the feasibility of using greenhouse gas permit G-7-AP for long-term geological storage of CO2. Inpex is the operator for the Bonaparte CCS joint venture and is assessing the potential for CCS in the permit.
“Success in this venture will provide for storage of CO2 from the Ichthys project and support the realisation of the Darwin-based, low-emissions carbon dioxide capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS）hub as proposed by the Northern Territory government.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation（CSIRO) is leading the development of the low-emissions CCUS hub business case, in collaboration with the Northern Territory government and the Inpex-led Ichthys project and other industry participants.
