5.45-9 MTPA Gorgon (Under Construction) - CO2e Emissions in Western Australia (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Chevron Australia. The EPA notes that the Gorgon development (2 train) would result in significant greenhouse gas emissions, expected to be in the order of 5.25 MTPA after reservoir CO2 is injected.
Sequestration abatement actions are anticipated to yield a greenhouse gas emissions intensity of 0.35 tonnes CO2e per tonne of LNG shipped. The revise the Gorgon development is to expand liquefied natural gas production from 10 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 15 MTPA by the addition of a third gas processing train.
It is now reported that they plan to double their production (4 trains at 20 Mtpa production) on Barrow Island leading to potential emissions of around 12 Mtpa. Note the geo-sequestration, if possible, cannot be expanded beyond 4.2 million tonnes of CO2 due to injection constraints into the Dupuy Formation.
