Woodside are seeking approval of their Browse/Burrup LNG hub projects off the north-west of Australia.

For too long, LNG has been mistakenly described as a cleaner fossil fuel, or a transition fuel, but the scale of carbon emissions from LNG projects in WA is staggering.

The Clean State campaign in WA, through the Conservation Council of WA, has been a strong advocate for action on climate change in this resource driven state. All of this information about LNG comes from their website, with data and analysis by Climate Analytics:

LNG produces 2.5 times the pollution from the burning of black coal in WA.

The proposed Burrup LNG gas hub will emit 95mtpa of carbon pollution until 2070, making it equivalent to 24 of the largest, dirtiest coal fired power stations in WA. 

Greenhouse gas emissions of this scale make a mockery of international targets set in Paris.

In addition, current WA LNG pollution is cancelling out all the savings made by the Australian Renewable Energy Target each year.

Woodside’s Burrup Hub Project will produce nearly FOUR TIMES the carbon pollution of the Adani coalmine.

The Western Australian EPA is currently reviewing Woodside’s new LNG hub proposals.

Make your own submission urging the EPA, in the strongest possible terms, to reject the proposal. Fossil fuels need to stay in the ground.

Clean State have made it easy for you – with an email submission form, which you can send from here.

Submissions are due by 12 February 2020.
