This project aims to address the key risk factor of gas leakage from carbon dioxide geological sequestration and hydrogen or compressed air renewable-energy storage. This project expects to develop innovative methods for monitoring gas leakage contamination into overlying Australian aquifer water resources. Expected outcomes of this project include a multidisciplinary method to detect leakages of CO2 and future stored-energy gases that can contaminate aquifers. This should provide significant benefits including enabling greenhouse gas emissions reduction while protecting Australian water resources. This is critically important for Great Artesian Basin aquifers that support over 180,000 Australians and overlie many planned storage sites.

该项目旨在解决二氧化碳地质隔离以及氢或压缩空气可再生能源存储的关键风险因素。 该项目预计将开发用于监测气体泄漏污染的创新方法，以覆盖澳大利亚含水层水资源。 该项目的预期结果包括一种多学科方法，用于检测二氧化碳的泄漏和未来储存的能量气体，该气体可能污染含水层。 这将提供巨大的好处，包括在保护澳大利亚水资源的同时减少温室气体排放。 这对于支持超过18万澳大利亚人并覆盖许多计划中的储存地点的伟大自流盆地含水层至关重要。
