Reject Woodside's new Browse Basin and North West Shelf LNG projects

If the proposed Browse Basin and North West Shelf LNG projects were to proceed it would be Australia’s largest and most polluting fossil fuel project, and one of the largest fossil fuel developments anywhere in the world.

Over its proposed 50-year lifetime these projects would release over 6 billion tons (gigatons) of carbon pollution, equivalent to Australia’s entire national emissions for over 11 years. This will have devastating impacts on our climate for generations to come.

Make a submission to WA's Environmental Protection Authority urging in the strongest possible terms to reject Woodside's proposal for a new LNG hub.

Subject:

To Dr Tom Hatton (Chairperson Environmental Protection Authority WA) and David Fredericks, Secretary Department of Environment and Energy,
 
I am writing in response to the current consultations on the proposed Browse Basin and North West Shelf projects. If the proposed Burrup Hub projects proceed, the Burrup Hub will be Australia’s largest and most polluting fossil fuel project, and one of the largest fossil fuel developments anywhere in the world.

The extent of the emissions that would result from gas collection and processing at the Burrup Hub would cancel out the gains made by both individual Australians and industry seeking sustainable ways to reduce their carbon emissions.

Allowing for both the creation of new, and the extension of existing, large-scale carbon pollution sources such as the proposed Burrup Hub, will breach our international carbon reduction obligations, and push our national reduction goals out of reach. The carbon pollution created by this project makes it fundamentally incompatible with Western Australia’s policy goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

The claims made by Woodside that gas is a ‘clean’ fuel contributing to reduced emissions are unsubstantiated and misleading. In 2019, LNG overtook coal as the most significant driver of pollution increases across the globe. LNG is a fossil fuel with pollution at every stage of its development and use and cannot be considered a solution to address climate change.

The carbon emissions from the Burrup Hub will have a significant detrimental impact for decades to come. At a time where Western Australia needs to be taking contribution to global carbon emissions seriously, approving new LNG projects that will continue to pollute at a large scale for the next 50 years is indefensible.

The life-time emissions of these projects must be considered. It is for these reasons that I strongly urge you to reject Woodside’s proposal.
