澳大利亚和日本公司正在研究深海碳捕集项目

据油气新闻12月8日消息称，一家澳大利亚公司已经联合该国国家科学机构和日本公司制定了一项计划，将二氧化碳捕集、液化并运输到澳大利亚近海的一个地点，然后储存在海底。

 

    澳大利亚政府最近将碳捕集和存储技术列为180亿澳元(130亿美元)计划的五项优先技术之一，以帮助减少碳排放。

 

    总部位于珀斯的跨国能源公司是deepC储存项目的负责公司，它周一表示，希望捕获澳大利亚和亚太地区液化天然气(LNG)工厂和其他工业工厂的碳排放。

 

    首席执行官Daein Cha表示，如果研究和工程设计工作按计划进行，该项目将在2027年后开始掩埋二氧化碳。

 

    Cha表告诉路透社：“我们希望在政府资金到位的情况下推进该项目。”

 

    跨国能源公司希望利用其开发的用于小型浮式液化天然气生产的技术，在澳大利亚近海建立一个浮式设施，每年可向海底注入150万吨二氧化碳。

 

    日本公用事业公司是澳大利亚液化天然气工厂的利益相关者，这些工厂可以为该项目提供二氧化碳。

    Australian, Japanese companies study deep sea carbon capture project off Australia

 

    An Australian company has lined up the country’s national science agency and Japanese firms to work on a plan to capture carbon dioxide, and liquefy and transport it to a site offshore Australia to be injected under the seabed.

 

    The push comes as the Australian government recently named carbon capture and storage as one of five priority technologies it would fund in an A$18 billion ($13 billion) plan to help cut carbon emissions.

 

    Perth-based Transborders Energy, leading the deepC Store project, said on Monday it wants to capture carbon emissions from liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and other industrial plants in Australia and the Asia Pacific.

 

    If studies and engineering design work go ahead on target, the project could start burying CO2 after 2027, Chief Executive Officer Daein Cha said.

 

    “We want to advance the project while government funding is available,” Cha told Reuters.

 

    Using technology it has developed for small-scale floating LNG production, Transborders wants to set up a floating facility off Australia which could inject 1.5 million tonnes a year of CO2 under the seabed.

 

    The Japanese utilities are stakeholders in LNG plants in Australia which could supply CO2 for the project.​
