Santos’ plan for carbon capture and storage for gas plant emissions

Santos Chief Executive Kevin Gallagher discusses the company’s plans for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Santos’ Moomba CCS project is designed to capture the carbon dioxide emissions from the gas plant and inject it into the depleted reservoirs of the Cooper Basin. “The technology of capturing carbon works … its really about working on the technology curve to get the expense of that down,” Mr Gallagher. “The exciting thing about that though, is once you do that, you don’t need to build pipelines, you don’t need to ship it.”
