Queensland halted Glencore's Surat Basin Carbon Capture project due to groundwater concerns.
Queensland has halted Glencore's Surat Basin Carbon Capture and Storage Project due to potential impacts on groundwater resources in the Great Artesian Basin. The state's Department of Environment, Science and Innovation found that the project's proposed Precipice Sandstone aquifer was not a confined aquifer, causing concerns about CO2 migration and potential long-term harm to groundwater. Similar projects may also be blocked in the future.
