PERTH – Environmental group Greenpeace Australia Pacific is appealing the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority’s decision to extend the life of North West Shelf gas processing facility.
“Conditions require the proponent to avoid, reduce and/or offset the total quantity of reservoir carbon dioxide emissions released to the atmosphere from the issue date of any ministerial approval to 2029.”“Requiring the proponent to reduce emissions such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds by at least 40% by 2030 through improvements to technology have formed a significant part of our recommended conditions,” Tonts said.
Greenpeace this week said that it would appeal the environmental approval on the grounds that the EPA had failed to properly consider the climate and environmental impacts of extending the gas facility for a further 50 years. should review the EPA’s recommendation to approve the project that threatens to blow Australia’s carbon budget,” the environmental groups said.
“If Woodside is allowed to run the NWS facility through to the 2070s, it would belch out 4.3-billion tonnes of climate pollution, fuelling the climate crisis and rendering national commitments to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050 impossible.
