Australia on Friday designated the West Peron undersea rock formation, off the country's north coast, as a storage site for an 8-million metric ton-per-year Bonaparte carbon capture and storage project proposed by Japan's Inpex. The Bonaparte project is initially expected to receive carbon dioxide from Inpex's Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) project before eventually expanding storage services to multiple industrial facilities.
