The Western Australian Government has announced a US$15 million grant to support the Pilbara Carbon Capture and Storage Transmission Project. This project would deliver key infrastructure needed to help support the decarbonization of heavy industry in Pilbara, Australia.
The project would see Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) develop an onshore transmission pipeline for an offshore multi-user carbon capture and storage hub in the Pilbara to transport carbon dioxide from facilities on the Burrup Peninsula into depleted gas fields for permanent sequestration.
AGIG owns and operates 21infrastructure which delivers gas to more than two million homes and businesses and is one of the largest gas infrastructure businesses in Australia. It manages over 21,750 miles (35,000 km) of distribution networks, more than 2675 (4300 km) of transmission pipelines, and 60 petajoules of storage capacity, valued at a combined US$10 billion.
AGIG owns and operates Hydrogen Park SA, the largest operational electrolyzer in Australia, and has a number of other renewable hydrogen projects under construction or in feasibility stage including Hydrogen Park Murray Valley, Hydrogen Park Gladstone, and Hydrogen Park Wagga Wagga.
