據世界石油8月24日報道，由道達爾能源（26%）、INPEX（53%，運營商）和伍德賽德（21%）組成的Bonaparte CCS評估合資公司已獲得澳大利亞西北近海岸的溫室氣體儲存評估許可證，以在G-7-AP區塊進行評估工作，該區塊被認為是對碳進行地質封存有前景的區域。評估工作將于2023年開始。

通過在該地區實現永久性二氧化碳封存，該項目補充了現有解決方案，以避免和減少Ichthys LNG項目的溫室氣體排放，Ichthys LNG是附近的一個天然氣液化和出口終端，道達爾（26%）是其創始合作伙伴。這也完全符合道達爾能源促進和發展CCS（碳捕獲和儲存）的計劃。

道達爾亞太勘探與生產與可再生能源高級副總裁Julien Pouget表示，這個有前景的溫室氣體儲存評估許可完全符合我們以更低排放提供更多能源的戰略，以及我們與社會一起到2050年實現凈零排放的雄心。道達爾的目標是到2030年發展超過1000萬噸/年的碳存儲能力，包括為其設施提供存儲以及為客戶提供存儲服務。作為Ichthys LNG項目和Bonaparte CCS評估合資企業的合作伙伴，道達爾完全有能力為澳大利亞的低碳LNG生產作出貢獻。

TotalEnergies, INPEX and Woodside to develop major CO2 sequestration project offshore Australia

The Bonaparte CCS Assessment joint venture between TotalEnergies (26%), INPEX (53%, Operator) and Woodside (21%) has been awarded a Greenhouse Gas Storage Assessment Permit, off the northwest coast of Australia, to carry out evaluation and appraisal work on block G-7-AP, which is considered a promising area for geological storage of CO2. Appraisal work will begin in 2023.

By enabling permanent CO2 sequestration in the region, this project complements existing solutions to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Ichthys LNG, a nearby natural gas liquefaction and export terminal that TotalEnergies (26%) is a founding partner. It is also fully consistent with TotalEnergies' initiatives to promote and develop CCS (carbon capture and storage).

“This promising greenhouse gas storage assessment permit is fully in line with our strategy to provide more energy with lower emissions, and our ambition to achieve net zero by 2050, together with society. TotalEnergies aims to develop more than 10 Mt/year of carbon storage capacity by 2030, including storage for its facilities as well as storage services for its customers,” said Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President, TotalEnergies Asia-Pacific E&P & Renewables. “As a partner in both the Ichthys LNG and Bonaparte CCS Assessment joint ventures, TotalEnergies is well positioned to contribute to low carbon LNG production in Australia.”
