Centre for Natural Gas (CNG)
The Sustainable Minerals Institute, The University of Queensland
Formerly known as Centre for Coal Seam Gas
The Centre for Natural Gas conducts real-world research focussed on optimising Australia’s natural gas industry in terms of environmental performance, social performance, and optimisation of cost of operation and supply, as well as carbon capture, utilisation and storage, and decarbonisation. This applied approach ensures the application of research outcomes in industry; appropriate modelling and tools for regulators; and information that gives the community confidence.
