DESCRIPTION:In Australia\, a number of small scale capture projects\, incl
 uding the  Callide Oxyfuel  Project and the Hazelwood are underway or have
  been completed. The large scale Gorgon Project will commence injection of
  CO2 in 2015-2016 and storage at the Otway site has been underway for seve
 ral years.  Two additional CCS Flagship projects have feasibility studies 
 in progress - the South West Project in WA and the CarbonNet Project  in V
 ictoria\, and the Federal Government’s Education Infrastructure Fund is 
 providing a total of $100 million for the NGL and CCSNET initiatives that 
 will enable the development of new CCS research infrastructure.\n\n A rece
 nt review for the IEAGHG Program has considered the role of small scale in
 jection projects and has identified the key features and the important suc
 cess factors amongst the 45 storage projects reviewed from around the worl
 d. The CO2CRC Otway Project is currently Australia’s only operational st
 orage projects and one of the largest storage research projects undertaken
  anywhere to date. The injection of approximately 65\,000 tonnes of CO2 in
 to a depleted gas field was followed by a detailed experiment into residua
 l trapping of CO2 in a saline aquifer. These provided many operational les
 sons and research outcomes that are relevant to large scale injections. Th
 e provision of additional new funds for the CCSNET initiative is providing
  the opportunity for CO2CRC\, CSIRO and  Universities to develop plans for
  new research initiatives at Otway and it is useful to review these in ter
 ms of some of the challenges facing the future large scale deployment of C
 CS.\n
