Carbon offsets have been purchased to mitigate emissions from the pilot. In the commercial phase, carbon dioxide would be captured during this process and stored deep underground in a process known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). The CarbonNet Project, which is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments, is investigating the potential for establishing a commercial-scale CCS network from the Latrobe Valley to offshore storage sites in the Gippsland Basin. CarbonNet presents a potential CCS solution for the HESC commercial phase. For more information on CCS, we recommend visiting the CarbonNet Project web page: www.earthresources.vic.gov.au/carbonnet
