Latest Carbon Dioxide Projects News

Lakes Blue Energy reported a $19.67 million FY26 loss, ended the year with just $433,804 in cash and disclosed a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. Its key Wombat-5 well found gas-bearing zones but failed to establish commercial deliverability, leaving the company dependent on further remediation, flow testing and capital.

Lakes Blue Energy has secured $6.5 million in new capital and is set to begin drilling the Wombat-5 gas well, targeting near-term supply to Victoria’s east coast market. Meanwhile, its Nangwarry carbon dioxide project moves forward with a fully funded feasibility study.

Lakes Blue Energy reported a $1.5 million quarterly operational spend and completed the $6.5 million sale of its 49% interest in PEP 169, while progressing drilling approvals for the Wombat-5 well in Victoria.
