Karratha CCS (Angel CCS)

The Karratha CCS (Angel CCS) Project in Western Australia is a proposed large-scale carbon capture and storage initiative aimed at reducing emissions from the region’s gas production and industrial operations. The project, led by Woodside Energy, seeks to utilize depleted gas reservoirs in the Angel gas field, located offshore northwest Australia, as permanent CO₂ storage sites. By capturing CO₂ from existing LNG facilities and other industrial sources around Karratha, the project could significantly lower the carbon footprint of Australia’s LNG exports while supporting the development of low-carbon energy solutions. The Karratha CCS (Angel CCS) hub is positioned as part of Woodside’s broader decarbonization strategy and aligns with both Australian and Asia-Pacific demand for cleaner LNG supply. Once operational, the project could enable the storage of millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually, helping to extend the life of local LNG infrastructure under stricter emissions policies and contribute to Australia’s net-zero commitments.
