  • Publicly available data was compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, and environmental and regulatory decisions in the north Bowen Basin. This web service summarises the geological storage of carbon dioxide prospectivity of the north Bowen Basin.

  • Publicly available geological data in the north Bowen Basin region are compiled to produce statements of existing knowledge for natural hydrogen, hydrogen storage, coal and mineral occurrences. This data guide also contains assessment of the potential for carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage and minerals in the basin region. Geochemical analyses of gas samples from petroleum, coal and coal seam gas boreholes in the basin show traces of natural hydrogen. However, the generation mechanism of the observed natural hydrogen concentration is unknown. Numerous mineral occurrences are found in the basin. Most contain gold, which historically has often been mined. Most occurrences are small, with some exceptions, such as Cracow, Golden Plateau, Kauffman’s Prospect and Miclere gold deposits. The north Bowen Basin has potential for epithermal gold-silver and gold-copper deposits in the deeper formations, but the depth of much of the basin makes exploration and mining difficult and expensive. There is also potential for sandstone-hosted uranium and paleoplacer gold deposits in the upper coal-bearing formations, such as what is seen in the Miclere area. The north Bowen Basin has a significant quantity of coal, with 152 deposits found in the basin, totalling about 47 billion tonnes of black coal. The results of CO2 geological storage assessment of 3 play intervals in the north Bowen Basin suggest there is low storage potential within the basin.

  • Publicly available baseline ecology data are compiled to provide a common information base for environment, resource development and regulatory decisions in the north Bowen Basin region. This data guide captures existing knowledge of the ecosystems and environmental assets overlying the north Bowen Basin. The land overlying the north Bowen Basin is dominated by the Brigalow Belt North and South Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) bioregions. The data on the ecosystems and environmental assets overlying the North Bowen Basin have been summarised in July 2021 to inform decisions on resource development activities. Key data sources are broad vegetation groups - pre-clearing and 2019 remnant - Queensland series (Queensland Government), Field Environmental Data, Australian Wetlands Database and Heritage places and lists (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), and the Atlas of Living Australia.
