據油氣新聞網12月7日報道，道達爾能源計劃在其計劃的巴布亞液化天然氣項目中每年捕獲近100萬噸二氧化碳，預計從2027年底天然氣生產的第一天起，碳捕獲和儲存作業將上線。

在巴布亞新幾內亞(PNG)南部的Elk氣田，二氧化碳將在生產過程中被泵回地下。一旦耗盡，Elk將被用來儲存附近Antelope儲存地的二氧化碳。

道達爾的一位高管表示，這是從最開始就包括碳捕獲和儲存在內的少數項目之一。

2019年首次宣布的年產540萬噸液化天然氣（LNG）的該項目是由埃克森美孚（ExxonMobil）、桑托斯（Santos）和國有的庫馬爾石油控股有限公司（Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited）組成的一個合資企業。

第一階段工程和設計工作于7月開始，最終投資決定將于2023年底確定。

道達爾駐澳大利亞和巴布亞新幾內亞的代表Jean-Francois Hery表示，該公司計劃在做出投資決定之前出售大部分天然氣資源，并有信心取得成功。

Jean-Francois Hery周二在一個會議間隙對路透表示，市場機會很大。并補充道，雖然該項目的碳捕獲機制正在向買家推銷，但目前出售的天然氣并沒有明確的低碳標簽。

巴布亞新幾內亞被認為是向全球最大的液化天然氣消費國——日本和韓國——輸送液化天然氣的絕佳地點。

TotalEnergies plans to capture 1m T/Yr carbon in PNG megaproject

TotalEnergies plans to bury almost 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year at its planned Papua LNG project, with the carbon capture and storage operation expected to be online from day one of gas production in late 2027.

At the Elk gas field in southern Papua New Guinea (PNG), carbon dioxide (CO2) in the gas reservoir will be pumped back into the ground during production. once depleted, Elk will be used to store CO2 from the nearby Antelope reservoir.

A TotalEnergies executive said it was one of only a few projects to include carbon capture and storage from day one.

First announced in 2019, the 5.4 million tonnes per year liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is a joint venture between ExxonMobil, Santos and state-owned Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited.

The first phase of engineering and design work began in July, and a final investment decision is on track for the end of 2023.

TotalEnergies country delegate for Australia and Papua New Jean-Francois Hery said the company planned to sell most of its gas allocation prior to the investment decision and was confident it would succeed.

"There's lots of appetite," Jean-Francois Hery told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference on Tuesday.

While the project's carbon capture mechanism is being marketed to buyers, the gas is not currently being sold with an explicit low-carbon label, he added.

PNG is considered a prized location for delivering LNG to the top global LNG consumers - Japan and South Korea.

"We want to get the right price. Markets are going up. If you sell everything too quickly you might lose some premium."
