Underground CCUS project shares findings

The Otway Stage 2C project, a research project of CO2CRC, has released findings from its underground carbon capture and storage (CCUS) project.

For the project, CO2CRC injected 15,000 tonnes of CO₂ approximately 1,500 meters underground at its Otway National Research Facility located in Nirranda South, Victoria.

The CO₂ was injected into a saline aquifer between December 2015 and April 2016. The CO₂ plume was then detected and tracked during the injection and in the years after.
