I lead the strategy for the South West Hub Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project, an initiative focused on reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Western Australia. At its Otway National Research Facility CO2CRC has safely demonstrated the end-to-end process of CCS. This work satisfies best practice methods for operators and provided confidence to regulators, government and the community that CCS is safe and reliable. Otway has been a great resource for the CCS community as an example of how CCS can operate both as a storage facility and within a community. I have been able to draw on CO2CRC’s experience for assistance in the Western Australian project and also used Otway as a resource to take visitors to the site. CO2CRC’s research has provided evidence that CCS is a viable option for reducing emissions and made my job on the South West Hub project easier.

As a storage research leader in the US, I have found that the CO2CRC’s Otway program is a valuable collaborator and source of innovative data that broadens the global experience with this new technology. The initial Otway experiment, which showed successful methods as well as barriers to plume tracking in a depleted gas reservoir was a valuable contributor to the international state-of-knowledge. The following highly successful and well-published experiments in saline aquifer settings have advanced modeling and monitoring technologies. I highly value the creativity and technical skill of the technical team and their generosity in sharing knowledge and expertise with their global counterparts and always look forward to the next data review opportunity.
