Greenhouse gas injection and storage lease

Greenhouse gas (GHG) injection and storage leases (QLs) are long-term authorities to allow you to commercially develop a storage site.

Permitted activities

A QL allows you to:

• explore for GHG storage areas
• evaluate the feasibility of GHG stream storage, including GHG storage injection testing
• compress or otherwise process a GHG stream for GHG stream storage
• store a GHG stream
• monitor and verify the behaviour of the GHG streams.

Environmental authorities

Before we grant a resource authority you will require the appropriate environmental authority.

Native title

Any native title requirements will need to be addressed before we grant an authority.
