Dealing with the problems caused by climate change and global warming is among the greatest challenges facing Australia today. One of the approaches being considered to minimise anthropogenic influence over climate is the geo-sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The proposed project will lead to greater understanding of storage capacity of sedimentary basins and identification of optimum injection conditions for geo-sequestration in such aquifers, and any potential mechanisms that could lead to migration of CO2 from the source rock back to the atmosphere.This will contribute to national efforts to reduce global warming, safeguard the Australian economy, and allow continued electricity generation from coal-fired plants.

应对气候变化和全球变暖造成的问题是澳大利亚当今面临的最大挑战之一。正在考虑减少人为对气候影响的方法之一是二氧化碳（CO2）的地质封存。拟议的项目将有助于更好地了解沉积盆地的储存能力，并确定此类含水层地质封存的最佳注入条件，以及可能导致二氧化碳从源岩迁移回大气的任何潜在机制。为国家努力减少全球变暖、保护澳大利亚经济并允许燃煤电厂持续发电做出贡献。
