Gorgon CCS Project Hits New Low in Carbon Capture and Storage
The world's largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, operated by Chevron at the Gorgon gas field off Western Australia, has reported its lowest level of CO2 captured and stored since commencing operations in August 2019. The latest data shows just 1.33 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 were captured in FY 2024-25.Key TakeawaysGorgon CCS captured only 1.33 Mt of CO2, the lowest since its start in August 2019.The project's performance has declined significantly; it captures just 25% of the total CO2 emissions from Gorgon and associated gas fields.Even at full capacity, Gorgon CCS would only capture about 8% of total emissions related to its operations.The decline in carbon capture performance is concerning as it underscores the limited impact of CCS technology on reducing overall greenhous...
