Prime Minister Julia Gillard has made a flying visit to the giant Gorgon gas project in Western Australia to praise the world's biggest carbon capture and storage program.
On a hot Barrow Island off WA's northwest coast on Saturday, Ms Gillard also thanked the US for making a $US500,000 ($A510,000) grant to an Australian-founded institute to promote carbon capture.
She congratulated the Chevron-led Gorgon project for winning global recognition on Friday from the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum at its annual meeting in Warsaw.

As part of the $43 billion Gorgon liquefied natural gas project, carbon will be separated from the gas and reinjected into a sandstone layer 2.5 kilometres beneath Barrow Island.
