What is Otway Stage 3

Otway Stage 3 monitoring and verification project

The Otway Stage 3 project will develop low-cost, low environmental footprint CO2 storage monitoring technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Delivery of capture platform to Otway Research Facility

There was a great deal of activity at the CO2CRC Otway Research Facility on 10 and 11 October 2016, when an experimental capture platform was delivered.  The $1M piece of equipment, which was manufactured to exacting specifications in Melbourne, was lowered by crane onto a strengthened concrete slab.

The new equipment will capture methane from a high CO2 concentration natural gas well using novel membrane and adsorbent materials, testing them for efficiency and cost effectiveness. The platform has been designed to be compact, energy efficient and robust, making it attractive to industry.  The intention is to use it initially in off-shore environments, with on-shore applications also possible.

CO2CRC’s Otway Research Facility is an ideal location to build and test the equipment as it has a high CO2 concentration natural gas field and the costal environment is tough.

Industrial Processes

The CO2CRC Otway Project is Australia’s first demonstration of the deep geological storage or geosequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common man-made greenhouse gas. Geological storage of CO2, as part of carbon capture and storage (CCS), has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from large industrial sources such as power stations by up to 90 per cent.

The Otway Project is an ongoing field laboratory for CO2 storage research. It provides technical information on geosequestration processes, technologies and monitoring and verification regimes and is informing public policy and industry decision-makers while also providing assurance to the community.

Stage 2 of the project is focussing on CO2 storage in saline formations – deep porous rocks containing formation water. Saline formations are very common worldwide and have the potential to store many years’ worth of CO2 emissions. Stage 2 is the focus of this video.

The Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) is one of the world’s leading collaborative research organisations focused on CCS R&D.

Animations

Residual gas trapping occurs when a small amount of CO2 becomes disconnected or ‘snaps off’ from the CO2 plume as the CO2 moves through the porous rock. The CO2 is stored in the pores in tiny bubbles, trapped by surface tension. The CO2 can’t move out of the pore space and remains fixed underground.

Capture processes

CO2CRC, a non-profit research collaboration, is conducting research into new ways of capturing carbon dioxide from power stations that will reduce the cost and make it easier for industry to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This video explains promising technologies and shows the research in action in Australian industrial demonstration projects.
