据世界天然气网2月28日消息 澳大利亚能源巨头桑托斯与韩国绿色能源公司SK E&S合作开展碳捕获和储存（CCS）项目。

桑托斯、SK E&S、K-CCUS协会、CO2CRC和韩国贸易保险公司签署了一份谅解备忘录（MoU），以支持和合作开发二氧化碳储存设施。

双方同意在澳大利亚和该地区共同开发CCS项目，包括在东帝汶的巴尤恩丹。

巴尤翁丹的CCS将具有每年储存约1000万吨二氧化碳的潜在能力。

桑托斯首席执行官凯文·加拉赫表示，该协议突显了亚太地区减少碳排放的增长势头和行动。增加CCS的部署对于实现世界气候目标至关重要。

“该协议为澳大利亚和韩国在CCS方面建立更广泛的双边伙伴关系和合作开辟了可能性。该协议已经成为巴罗萨天然气项目和达尔文液化天然气项目的合作伙伴，进一步加强了SK E&S和桑托斯之间深入且不断扩大的关系。”

加拉赫表示，在该地区合作推进CCS项目，是通往低排放未来的一条路径。

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. Already partners in the Barossa Gas Project and Darwin LNG, the agreement further strengthens the deep and expanding relationship between SK E&S and Santos.”

He also added that progressing this partnership with CCS projects in the region is a path to a lower-emissions future.
