Carbon capture and storage Santos internal analysis: $US1.6B Bayu-Undan carbon storage is low return and high complexity Australian LNG producers are under pressure on emissions and decommissioning, and Santos wants to tackle both problems in one swoop at Bayu Undan, but it needs everyone to play along.
Chevron Time’s up on Gorgon’s five years of carbon storage failure On July 18 Chevron will be millions of tonnes short of required CO2 injection at Gorgon LNG. If the WA Government stands firm the carbon credit bill could approach $100 million.
LNG Featured Chevron's Gorgon CO2 injection fix needs more time, so more emissions Chevron's Gorgon should be a showpiece of carbon capture and storage but five years after first LNG it is still not working properly and has another five-month extension from the regulator.
Energy Transition Shell, Exxon and Chevron slammed on climate by court and investors: what it means for Australia Shell, Exxon and Chevron are big players in Australian oil and gas and being forced to decarbonise sooner will affect their local operations, with a possible king hit to Prelude.
Energy Transition The budget is a flight of fancy ignoring Australia’s low-emissions future In this week's budget the Morrison Government ignored clean energy and instead took a long-odds bet that carbon capture and storage will allow fossil fuels to carry on untouched by climate concerns.
Ammonia Yara and JERA seek Pilbara carbon storage for blue ammonia If CO2 from Yara's Pilbara ammonia plant is buried WA could ship a clean fuel to displace coal in JERA's Japanese power stations, but underground carbon storage has its doubters.
Carbon capture and storage Santos and ENI team up to tackle dirty gas and decommissioning Santos and ENI are looking for solutions for CO2 and removing old facilities in the waters north of Darwin. Time will tell if the problems are solved or just delayed.
Analysis Blue hydrogen a risky path for Australia in global clean fuel race The cost of storing CO2 produced when hydrogen is made from coal or gas will likely make blue hydrogen uncompetitive against green hydrogen made with renewable electricity, ANU scientists conclude.
Carbon Emissions Inpex’s Ichthys LNG emissions bust negates 1.7M solar panels Ichthys LNG is giving Inpex and Australia a huge carbon pollution problem that is likely to grow as the Japanese company looks to troublesome carbon capture and storage to limit the environmental and financial damage.
Carbon capture and storage Gorgon emissions to soar until Chevron fixes restricted CO2 injection Gorgon LNG's carbon emissions will jump by more than one million tonnes a year until Chevron fixes an underground pressure management problem that caused WA's safety regulator to curtail CO2 injection by two-thirds.
Carbon capture and storage Inpex moves to clean up Ichthys' dirty LNG A year after Inpex rejected carbon capture and storage at Ichthys LNG as unaffordable it is an essential element in its new drive to slash emissions by 2030.
Carbon capture and storage Chevron’s Gorgon emissions to rise after sand clogs $3.1B C02 injection system The WA safety regulator has told Chevron to turn down Australia's $3.1 billion showpiece Gorgon LNG carbon capture and storage system until problems are fixed, meaning carbon emissions will rise.
Carbon capture and storage Chevron faces little grief from Gorgon LNG's 7 million tonnes emissions miss Gorgon LNG has emitted 7 million tonnes of climate-warming CO2 more than permitted but Chevron is unlikely to suffer at the hands of lax Australian governments.
Chevron Gorgon CO2 injection questions remain one year on Chevron's ambitious injection of Gorgon CO2 shaped the $US54B LNG project and a year after starting up 2.5 years late its long-term performance remains to be proved.
=== from the archive === Gorgon CO2 injection stopped by leaks and corrosion Chevron's $2.5B effort to cut bury emissions from its Gorgon LNG project has been thwarted by equipment failures.
=== from the archive === Chevron faces its CO2 challenge at Gorgon Chevron’s Gorgon project has to start injecting CO2 underground or it can emit more CO2 than all of Collie’s coal-fired power stations.
