I'm terrified about Woodside's Burrup Hub proposal
I’m writing to you to make sure you understand the dangers of Woodside's Burrup Hub project. I have read the Burrup Hub report and I’m terrified knowing that over its 50-year lifetime, Woodside's Burrup Hub will generate over 6 billion tonnes (gigatons) of carbon pollution from gas production, export, and combustion overseas. That is equal to 11x the total annual emissions for the entire of Australia. If this project were to proceed, Woodside's Burrup Hub would become one of the largest and most polluting fossil fuel projects in the world. Every year Woodside's Burrup Hub will produce 139 million tonnes of carbon pollution – over 4 times more than the proposed Adani coal mine, and the equivalent of 35 new coal-fired power stations. If Western Australia is to meet its policy goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, we cannot develop new LNG projects. Gas is not a ‘transition’ fuel. We have the resources and technology for a rapid transition to renewable energy. We should be embracing the potential for job opportunities and regional development in carbon farming and the renewables sector. Gas is not part of the solution for climate change, or the solution to sustainably power Western Australia into the future. A large-scale LNG project with a lifespan of over 50 years cannot go ahead. Western Australia must tackle its emissions through the creation of clean jobs and investment in renewable technologies. We must rapidly move away from all types of fossil fuels, including LNG. I strongly urge you to reject Woodside’s proposal as we should be pursuing the cheap and abundant renewable resources we have available right here in WA. Clean State WA has released new research about the devastating impact of these projects.
