The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) in Australia is gearing up for new regulations concerning greenhouse gas and hydrogen. Staff from DEMIRS recently visited the CSIRO In-Situ Laboratory near Perth to enhance their understanding of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies and equipment. This research facility is vital for reducing atmospheric emissions and supporting the shift towards lower-emission industries by storing carbon dioxide underground. The collaboration involving CSIRO, DEMIRS, and other institutions focuses on advancing research in CCUS and natural hydrogen exploration. DEMIRS employees gained valuable knowledge during the visit, which included observing equipment for monitoring CCUS and detecting natural hydrogen. Legislative changes in Western Australia are being developed to facilitate the integration of greenhouse gas transport, storage, and natural hydrogen exploration within the state's industries. The visit to the Harvey research site also involved inspections of equipment installed by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) to support natural hydrogen detection. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to prepare for the future of resource industries in Western Australia. The In-Situ Laboratory plays a crucial role in research, with ongoing efforts to ensure the safe storage of carbon dioxide underground. The collaboration between CSIRO, DEMIRS, and other entities underscores the importance of research and preparation for the evolving landscape of energy and resource industries in the region.
