Economic Potential of DACCS and Global CCS Progress
[52]
The order of magnitude difference between sub-
commercial resources and commercial resources
suggests a significant opportunity exists to explore,
develop, and appraise storage resources globally
(Appendix figure 5). The CO2 Storage Resource
Catalogue can only use data in the public domain, so
classifications in Appendix figure 5 likely underestimate
resource commerciality because companies tend to keep
their CCS project information private.
In February 2022, Santos became the first company
to officially claim ownership of (or "book") CO2 storage
resources using the SRMS system (4). It has booked 100
Mt of storage resources in the Cooper Basin of Australia
ahead of its Moomba CCS Project, which has reached
its final investment decision (FID). Santos booked nine
Mt of 2P (proved plus probable) resource and 91 Mt of
contingent (2C) resource.
