Santos welcomes CCS and hydrogen focus Santos welcomes both the Federal and South Australian Governments' focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS), and hydrogen technologies to put Australia at the forefront of the global energy transformation that is rapidly occurring. This will create jobs and cut emissions. Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said Santos is extremely well-placed to develop zero-emissions LNG and hydrogen products through its globally significant Moomba CCS project. Initially it is planned to store up to 1.7 million tonnes of CO2 per annum, but the Cooper Basin has the capacity to store 20 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.
