"The value of Block's assets was further confirmed by the publication of an independent study indicating the presence of a major CCS opportunity. With an estimated reservoir scale storage of 256 million metric tonnes, and basin scale capacity of up to 8.7 gigatonnes, the Middle Eocene reservoir within our Patardzeuli-Samgori licence has the right geology and geography to support one of the biggest CO2 storage facilities in Europe. It offers the ideal conditions for mineralisation, a highly efficient and proven form of sequestration already being used for a leading CCS project in Iceland. And the reservoir's location in central Georgia make it ideally placed to serve as a regional net-zero hub.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed post-period with the Georgian subsidiary of Indorama Corporation, one of Asia's leading chemical companies, with which Block is working to define a pilot CO2 injection project. With EU Emissions Trading Scheme ("ETS") prices at around $60/ton, and an estimated cost to store of approximately $12 per ton, the agreement is a significant step forward to developing a commercial pathway toward project development. With upstream and downstream synergies critical for any CCS project, brownfield infrastructure available for re-use, and the conditions for low-cost proven technology, we are excited by how quickly this project continues to develop".
Sounds good to me!
