Investigating the presence of organic matter in salt from the Adavale Basin
Large-scale storage of commercially produced hydrogen worldwide is presently stored in salt caverns. Through the Exploring for the Future program, Geoscience Australia is identifying and mapping salt deposits in Australia that may be suitable for hydrogen storage. The Adavale Basin in central Queensland is home to the Boree Salt, which is the only known thick salt deposit in eastern Australia and has the potential to become a strategic resource for underground hydrogen storage. The Boree Salt primarily consists of halite and can be as much as 555 meters thick in certain wells.
Geoscience Australia contracted CSIRO to conduct a geochemistry test on four salt core samples from the Boree 1 and Bury 1 wells to analyse potential organic matter. Seven sub-samples of dark and clean salt from each core were sent to CSIRO's organic geochemistry laboratory in Lindfield, NSW. The results indicated that no organic matter was found in the Boree Salt samples.
