Geo Sequestration of CO2, Australia

New research on deep saline storage will soon be underway at the CO2CRC Otway Project, Australia’s only CO2 geosequestration research and demonstration facility.

“The CO2CRC Otway Project has safely injected and stored over 65,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide two kilometres underground in a depleted gas field, demonstrating that stored carbon dioxide can be effectively monitored,” said Dr Peter Cook, Chief Executive of the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC).

“Over the past year, researchers have been able to produce an accurate picture of the stored carbon dioxide as part of the project’s rigorous monitoring and verification program. The work has lead to new techniques that can be highly useful to commercial-scale projects in the future.”

As this being an appreciable project for better of humanity and bring universal peace, i will be glad to be a part of it.

Burying Australia's carbon dioxide emissions in rocks underground will only reduce emissions by a small amount by 2020, according to new research.

This geosequestration technology will, at best, reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 7% by 2020, according to research by Dr Ben McNeil from the Centre for Environment Modelling and Prediction at Sydney's University of New South Wales.
