Chevron is studying plans to sell greenhouse gas storage space in Australian underground reservoirs to polluters across Asia.
The US energy company sees potential for geological formations such as those at its Gorgon liquefied natural gas facility in Western Australia to be used to store third-party emissions, according to David Fallon, the company’s general manager of energy transition for Australia.
Australia is “blessed with a set of good rocks” capable of storing the region’s emissions, Fallon said on Monday at a UBS conference in Sydney. Direct air capture and storage of carbon dioxide – an emerging but expensive technology that can remove the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere – had “real scope to provide some interesting opportunities in the future” in the long term, he said.
Last week, Chevron signed an agreement with Mitsui OSK Lines to study the feasibility of transporting liquefied carbon dioxide from Singapore to permanent storage locations off Australia’s coast.
The producer has struggled to meet targets to capture and store its own emissions at Gorgon, one of the world’s largest carbon sequestration projects, and last year Chevron said it would need to purchase offsets to deal with the shortfall.
A record number of carbon capture and storage projects are in development on the back of rising carbon prices and government incentives, though they would still only mitigate less than 1 per cent of annual emissions, the Melbourne-based Global CCS Institute said last month.
