Carbon capture and storage in Australia Carbon capture and storage in Australia Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an approach to try to mitigate global warming by capturing carbon dioxide from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants and storing it instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage is also used to sequester filtered out of natural gas from certain from natural gas fields. While typically the has no value after being stored, Enhanced Oil Recovery uses to increase yield from declining oil fields. There are no currently-operating large-scale CCS projects in Australia, although the Gorgon gas project will qualify
Coal gasification commercialization resulting from the gasification of feed coal is shifted, and a Rectisol process is utilized for sulfur removal and CO removal. Recovered CO is sold for use in making carbonated beverages. "Lignite gasification to produce synthetic natural gas or ammonia" The Great Plains Synfuels Plant (GPSP) in Beulah, North Dakota has been in operation since 1984 producing synthetic natural gas (SNG) from lignite coal, and remains the only coal-to-SNG facility in the United States. GSPS is operated by the Dakota Gasification Company. In addition to the production of SNG, the plant also produces high purity carbon dioxide, which is distributed
