Origin (ORG) today outlined plans to capture more than one quarter of the carbon dioxide (CO2) output of the Lang Lang BassGas gas plant for commercial reuse. Origin, on behalf of the joint venturers in the BassGas project, AWE and CalEnergy, has signed an agreement with Air Liquide to supply CO2 to a new recovery unit which will be constructed at the Lang Lang gas plant in Gippsland, Victoria. The CO2 recovered will be purified, liquefied and can then be re-used for various purposes including fire fighting, wine making, soft drink carbonation, food preservation and freezing. Origin’s Executive General Manager, Upstream Oil & Gas, Paul Zealand said, “Working with Air Liquide and supplying CO2 to their new and innovative CO2 recovery unit demonstrates our commitment to cleaner energy.”
