The federal Resources and Energy Minister Martin Ferguson has opened the first geosequestration project in the southern hemisphere. The demonstration plant is near Nirranda South in South Western Victoria. ({{coord|35.31|S|149.14|E}}) The plant is owned by the CO2 Cooperative Research Centre. It is government funded. It will try to capture and compress 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from natural gas. The plant will then try to store this in a depleted natural gas reservoir.<ref>[http://news.sbs.com.au/worldnewsaustralia//first_carbon_storage_plant_launched_544064 ''First carbon storage plant launched'']</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Staff writer|date=2 April 2008|title=Carbon capture trial launched|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-02/carbon-capture-trial-launched/2391020|work=ABC News|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=10 October 2013}}</ref> This project is tiny by world standards as British Petroleum's Algerian plant is storing 1,000,000 tonnes each year.

This plant does not propose to capture CO<sub>2</sub> from coal fired power generation. There is no project anywhere in the world storing CO<sub>2</sub> stripped from the products of combustion of coal burnt for electricity generation at coal fired [[Conventional coal-fired power plant|power plants]].
