The CarbonNet Project aims to establish a commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) network in Victoria, Australia.

The network will deliver carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from a range of industries based in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, via an underground pipeline, to offshore storage sites in Bass Strait.

There is potential for CarbonNet to capture, transport, and store five million tonnes of CO2 per year, with capacity available to scale-up storage as required.

The first storage site is known as Pelican.
