Abstract

In South Korea, carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques have attracted considerable attention as part of efforts to achieve the 2030 Korean Nationally Determined Contribution. However, owing to delays in large-scale CCS projects in South Korea, interest in cross-border CCS projects, wherein CO2 captured in South Korea is stored in overseas CCS facilities, has increased. In this study, we investigated the development status of the CarbonNet project in the Gippsland Basin, Australia. First, we provide a brief overview of sedimentary basins and CCS projects in Australia. Subsequently, we review the geological history of the Gippsland Basin, the site of the large-scale CCS project. Finally, we summarize the site selection process for the CarbonNet project and discuss the suitability of the Pelican site for large-scale CCS projects.

최근 우리나라에서도 2030 국가 온실가스 감축목표를 달성하기 위한 이산화탄소 지중저장 기술이 큰 주목을 받고 있으나, 국내 대규모 CCS 사업이 지연되면서 우리나라의 이산화탄소를 해외 저장소에 저장하는 국외감축 사업이 주목을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 호주 깁스랜드 분지에서 추진 중인 CarbonNet 프로젝트의 개발 현황을 조사하여 단기적으로는 국내감축을 위한 대규모 저장소 탐사, 장기적으로는 국외감축 부지 정보 축적을 위한 보조자료로 활용하고자 한다. 먼저 호주의 퇴적분지와 호주에서 추진 중인 CCS 사업을 간략히 소개하고, 대규모 CCS 사업이 추진 중인 깁스랜드 분지의 지질학적 형성과정을 분석한다. 이후 CarbonNet 프로젝트의 부지 선정 과정을 정리하고, 선정된 펠리컨 부지의 CCS 적합성을 논의하고자 한다.
