Exploring Australia’s carbon storage: is there a competitive subsurface advantage in Asia Pacific ?

Australia features among the top ten storage hubs by announcements, but the largest storage sites might not always be the best reservoirs for long-term injectivity. Do Australian storage sites provide a competitive advantage in the race to provide cross-border storage opportunities?
