據(jù)世界天然氣2月28日消息稱，澳大利亞能源巨頭桑托斯已與韓國綠色能源公司 SK E&S 合作開展碳捕獲和儲存項目。

Santos、SK E&S、K-CCUS協(xié)會、CO2CRC和韓國貿(mào)易保險公司簽署了一份諒解備忘錄 (MoU)，以支持和合作開發(fā)二氧化碳儲存設(shè)施。

因此，各方同意在澳大利亞和該地區(qū)共同開發(fā)CCS項目，包括在東帝汶的Bayu-Undan。

Bayu-Undan 的 CCS 將具有每年儲存約 1000 萬噸二氧化碳的潛力。

桑托斯首席執(zhí)行官Kevin Gallagher表示，該交易凸顯了亞太地區(qū)減少碳排放的增長勢頭和行動。“增加 CCS 的部署對于實(shí)現(xiàn)世界氣候目標(biāo)至關(guān)重要。”

“該協(xié)議為澳大利亞和韓國在CCS方面建立更廣泛的雙邊伙伴關(guān)系和合作開辟了潛力。”

Santos and SK to work on CCS projects in Australia

Australian energy giant Santos has teamed up with South Korea’s green energy company SK E&S on carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects.

Santos, SK E&S, K-CCUS Association, CO2CRC, and Korea Trade Insurance Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to support and collaborate in the development of CO2 storage facilities.

Therefore, the parties agreed to jointly develop CCS projects in Australia and the region, including Bayu-Undan in Timor Leste.

CCS at Bayu-Undan would have the potential capacity to store approximately 10 million tonnes of CO2 a year.

Santos CEO Kevin Gallagher said the deal highlights growing momentum and action to reduce carbon emissions in the Asia Pacific. “Increased deployment of CCS is critical to achieve the world’s climate goals.”

“This agreement opens the potential for broader bilateral partnership and cooperation on CCS between Australia and Korea.”
