Sea-Quester develops innovative systems for Geo sequestration, offering a sustainable solution to carbon capture and storage.

  • Sea-Quester has developed an innovative system for cost-effective Geo sequestration of CO2 from industrial emitters, eliminating the need for pipelines and fixed infrastructure at disposal sites.
  • The company is awaiting results from the Commonwealth Government's 2023 Greenhouse Gas acreage release, aiming to secure a block for offshore Geo sequestration, crucial for achieving net zero emissions.
  • With only a few projects meaningfully sequestering carbon in Australia, Sea-Quester's system offers a scalable solution equivalent to planting 178M trees annually, contributing significantly to carbon reduction efforts.
  • Despite common misconceptions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a proven technology, with 46 operational projects globally, addressing specific project issues rather than inherent flaws in the technology.
  • Geo sequestration of CO2 into underground reservoirs is deemed safe, with minimal leakage risk due to geological stability, extensive reservoir evaluation, and the use of refurbished cargo ships for deployment, reducing construction delays.
  • Sea-Quester further mitigates project risk by enabling quick deployment, flexibility in injection sites, and recovery and re-use of subsea equipment, ensuring continuous operation and minimal business interruption.
  • Sea-quester has developed a low-cost, offshore carbon transport and injection system that is capable of safely and permanently disposing of 1Mtpa of capture CO2 emissions.
  • Our system is quick to deploy, scalable, and flexible meaning that more projects can be put into operation, offering CCS as a service to industrial emitters in Australia and around the world.
  • The company was successfully awarded a $500,000 grant from the WA State Government for a study examining the offshore disposal of CO2 produced on the Western Trade Coast.
