(AOF) – The Bonaparte CCS Assessment partnership between TotalEnergies (26%), INPEX (53%, operator) and Woodside (21%) has been awarded a license to assess CO2 storage off the north coast. Western Australia, authorizing the partners to carry out assessment and appraisal work on the G-7-AP license, considered a promising area for geological CO2 sequestration. Assessment work will begin in 2023.
“By providing CO2 sequestration capacity in the region, this project complements existing solutions to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Ichthys LNG, a nearby natural gas liquefaction plant, whose TotalEnergies (26%) is a founding partner”, commented the French group.
This project is fully in line with TotalEnergies’ initiatives to promote and develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to achieve carbon neutrality.
