Moomba Carbon Storage Project

The Moomba Carbon Storage project has the long-term objective of establishing a large-scale carbon storage hub at Moomba, which could eventually store up to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year and 1 billion tonnes over the life of the project.

It would do so by injecting carbon dioxide into the depleted and/or depleting oil and gas reservoirs of the Cooper Basin, thereby providing a secure storage solution for major carbon emitters in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.

Capturing and securely storing carbon dioxide (the most significant greenhouse gas) deep underground is one of the most practical and efficient responses to combating climate change.
