Collie project flies the flag for Carbon Capture & Storage
Western Australia has maintained its momentum in developing carbon capture and storage technology, with the proposed Collie South West Hub nominated for a share of A$2 billion in Federal Government funding.
The project was one of four around Australia shortlisted for the Federal Government’s Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Flagship Program, which will support construction and demonstration of large-scale integrated projects across the country.
Funding for the study was formalised in a memorandum of understanding in June 2009 between the Department of Mines and Petroleum and five other companies including Perdaman Chemicals & Fertilisers.
