#FDotM nailed it back in November when the #ALP #Albo government granted the #BurrupHub extension:

"It seems like our only options now are death or revolution, and it's hard to decide because revolution sounds like a lot of work."

Woodside wants to extend the life of its Burrup Hub gas processing plant until 2070 – seriously

It could still be pumping carbon into the air when Taylor Swift is 81

This week, the freshly re-elected #Albanese Labor government scandalously approved a forty-year extension on the operational life of the gas hub, a move that not only threatens the priceless petroglyphs, but represents permission for #Woodside (the massive gas company that basically runs the state of Western Australia) to profit off a #CarbonBomb that will, once extracted and burned, add somewhere between four and six billion tonnes of climate-wrecking ocean-acidifying carbon dioxide to the active carbon cycle. The cumulative climate pollution from the life of this one project will thus considerably exceed the sum of Australia's projected national domestic emissions for the next decade or more.

Of all the legacies of this Labor government, this decision (alongside giving the green light to dozens more coal and gas projects) will ultimately be the most impactful. The carbon released for the short-term profits of a wealthy few will contribute to massively disrupting and degrading the habitability of the planet for everyone, continuing to shape life on Earth for at least the next forty thousand years.

No one committed to Paris goals can seriously argue Woodside’s LNG project should operate until 2070

Forty-year extension of North West Shelf gas project granted by environment minister Murray Watt will result in huge greenhouse gas emissions, putting the already degraded Indigenous rock art at risk

The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of #WestAustralia
To plunder it #Woodside want to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system; and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.
(1,500 species; resting and feeding area for migrating pygmy blue whales, manta rays, whale sharks, migratory birds, and green turtle hatchlings.)

The EPA rejects #Browse part of #Woodside’s much larger #BurrupHub project.

“But there’s a problem. The enormous Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields are hundreds of kilometres off the coast of Western Australia – buried underneath pristine coral reefs. To access it, the company would have to drill more than 50 wells around the Scott Reef system and pipe the gas 900 km along the ocean floor to a processing plant.

“Now Woodside has an even larger problem. The state’s Environmental Protection Authority is signalling it will reject this A$30 billion project, known as Browse, which is part of Woodside’s much larger Burrup Hub project.”

DISRUPT BURRUP HUB

CelloMom On Cars Nov 27, 2023

"Planned #gas developments on #WesternAustralia’s #BurrupHub led by #WoodsideEnergy could result in twice as much #GreenhouseGas being emitted as any other Australian #FossilFuel development up for approval.

The analysis led by Greenpeace estimated the Burrup Hub expansion could lead to 6.1bn tonnes of CO2 across the decades ahead if fully developed – roughly 13 times what #Australia emits annually."

Burrup Hub gas project could release 13 times Australia’s annual carbon emissions, analysis suggests

Greenpeace-led research discussed in Canberra with independent Kate Chaney saying politicians need to understand ‘sheer scale’ of what is planned in WA

How Mark McGowan pressured the EPA boss to remove WA's tough emissions targets in one brief phone call

The ABC can reveal details of an "extraordinary" phone call by Mark McGowan to the state's independent environmental protection boss in which he claims the former premier pressured him to drop tough new emissions guidelines.

Murujuga's rock art is at risk – where is the outrage?

Archaeologists speak out against the removal of three rock art panels to pave the way for the construction of a new fertiliser factory in Western Australia.

This is some excellent news from Clean Energy Finance #CEF & #TimBuckley. “We project that the cumulative liability of #Woodside and partners’ #BurrupHub project to 2050 is between $28 billion to $63 billion (nominal, not NPV (Net Present Value), with Woodside’s share approximately 40 per cent. Most costly are the ageing #NWS facilities and the planned Browse expansion". The difference is the level of the opening #CarbonPrice, either $45/t or $75/t. Without successful Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS, this projects become financially unviable.
