The world’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Chevron’s LNG facility in Western Australia has reported the lowest amount of carbon dioxide captured in a year since its inception in 2019, according to research from the renewables-leaning Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
Gorgon CCS captured 1.33 million tonnes in the full year 2024-25, which were only ‘a fraction’ of total emissions from the adjoining LNG plant, claims IEEFA.
“So even if Gorgon were working at its design rate of capturing and storing 4MtCO2 a year, it would still just amount to 8% of the total emissions from the associated projects,” it states.
“This is the case for any gas field promoting a CCS project, such as Woodside’s Browse gas project and Inpex’s Bonaparte CCS project. The latter is slated to host some of the CO2 from Inpex’s Ichthys gas project in the Browse Basin in the Timor Sea.”
