Bonaparte Carbon

Capture and Storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a proven technology that can avoid carbon dioxide (CO2)
from being emitted into the atmosphere by sequestering it deep underground safely and
permanently. The Bonaparte CCS project could provide the opportunity for a large-scale
multi-user carbon storage hub strategically located on the doorstep of Asia.
