The CO2 being extracted is currently stored safe, for free and without monitoring and currently doesn’t leak – why take it out?
A. CO2CRC is conducting a research program into the geological storage of CO2. The aim of the project is to show that CO2 capture and storage is a viable, safe, secure option for greenhouse gas reduction in Australia. The lessons learned from monitoring and other activities in this research project will open the way for the technology to be applied to large scale emissions. Our monitoring and verification program is in many ways the most important part of the project as it will demonstrate to the community, governments at all levels and industry that CO2 can be safely transported, injected and stored in the deep subsurface.
