Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gaining momentum globally. The Global CCS Institute notes in their Status of CCS 2023 report that there are 26 carbon capture and storage projects under construction and a further 325 projects in development, with a total capture capacity of 361 million tonnes per year (Mt/y) of carbon dioxide (CO2). Some CCS projects require the extraction of brackish or saline water (referred to here on in as brine) from the storage formation to manage increased pressure resulting from CO2 injection and/or to optimise subsurface storage space. It is important to consider the management of extracted brine as the CCS industry scales up due to implications for project design, cost and location as well as for the responsible management of the ‘waste’ or by-product brine. The use and disposal of reservoir brine has been investigated for CCS projects around the world, but not for Australian conditions. We have undertaken this review to explore how extracted brine could potentially be managed by CCS projects across Australia.
