Global Carbon Capture & Storage Institute CEO Brad Page says Chevron’s Gorgon LNG project will prove the business case for carbon capture and storage technology. The CCS component of the Gorgon project will reduce Gorgon’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 40 per cent by using a saline aquifer to store carbon dioxide. Page notes that the estimated $A2bn cost of the CCS project is insignificant compared with the overall cost of Gorgon, which has blown out from $US37bn to $US54bn.
