Australia's First Carbon Dioxide Storage Project

摘要

The first carbon dioxide storage or geosequestration project in the southern hemisphere was launched on 2 April 2008 by the Federal Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson, joined by the Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources, Peter Batchelor, in south-western Victoria. According to the CO2CRC Chief Executive, Dr Peter Cook, the CO2CRC Otway Project is one of the most innovative greenhouse projects ever undertaken in Australia and one of the most comprehensive in the world to demonstrate geosequestration at a commercially significant scale.
