This proposal facilitates the Capture and Storage of Carbon Dioxide, in an attempt to curb rising atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases which are the cause of global heating / anthropogenic climate change. The contribution that this proposal could thoeretically make to emissions reduction and drawdown is tiny and is an extremely wasteful use of public money. And it further delays the implementation of effective, proven and lower cost measures that would make a greater contribution. The proposal extends the use of fossil fuels which is inimcal to efforts to halt climate breakdown. The risk that leaks and accidents could release large amounts of CO2, injurious to human and animal life, should be given full weight in the consenting examination.
