One of the most critical environmental issues facing society is that of global warming because of increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide released from burning of fossil fuels. Storage of CO2 in the ground, geo-sequestration, offers the promise of significant reductions in atmospheric CO2 release, particularly from coal fired power stations which produce 40% of Australia's CO2 emissions. The proposed project will lead to greater understanding and reduced risks during the injection and storage of CO2 in deep unmineable coal deposits. This will contribute to national efforts to reduce global warming, safeguard the Australian coal industry, and allow continued electricity generation from coal-fired plants.

社会面临的最严重的环境问题之一是由于化石燃料燃烧释放的二氧化碳浓度不断增加而导致的全球变暖。将二氧化碳储存在地下，即地质封存，有望显着减少大气中二氧化碳的排放，特别是来自燃煤发电站的二氧化碳排放量，该发电站产生的二氧化碳排放量占澳大利亚二氧化碳排放量的 40%。拟议的项目将加深对不可开采深层煤矿床中二氧化碳注入和封存过程的了解并降低风险。这将有助于国家努力减少全球变暖，保护澳大利亚煤炭工业，并允许燃煤电厂持续发电。
