@MelissaBenyon Yes, without key pieces of context for that very misleading final quote:

“This [North West Shelf] project is subject to those reforms, which means this plant is required to bring their emissions down each year and reach net zero by 2050 under the safeguard mechanism.”

Context: by "their emissions", the (unnamed) government spokesperson does *not* include the >4b tonnes of CO2 emissions that will result when the gas extracted from the project is burned (called 'scope 3 emissions' in technical jargon), and is only referring the (far smaller) emissions that result from the extraction process itself. However, most readers of the article are unlikely to be aware of this crucial distinction and so miss the verbal sleight of hand at play.

Also missing: even these latter emissions are very likely underestimated by current Australian government methods of accounting for gas extraction, which are not based on the latest research into the scale of methane leakage that occurs during extraction, processing and transport of #FossilGas.

Also also missing: the safeguard mechanism allows #Woodside to 'reduce' 'their emissions' via dodgy #CarbonOffset scams that frequently fail to do anything like what is claimed on the tin.

Tiwi elders fear Santos $5.7 billion Barossa gas project in the Timor Sea.involving a pipeline risks committing an undersea Juukan Gorge-style disaster.

Leigh Naunton from Beyond Gas Network explains the Santos' Barossa Gas project in SeaCountry off the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory. The project is being funded by South Korean Government Agencies.
This protest was outside the South Korean Consulate on St Kilda Road, Melbourne.

@KC
Darwin LNG facility "assumed to return in 2025 with gas from the Barossa field, a relatively high carbon dioxide field when compared to the current gas source. As such, fugitive venting emissions are projected to increase from 2025."
See Australia's Emissions Projections 2022 https://www.dcceew.gov.au/climate-change/publications/australias-emissions-projections-2022

The Federal Government is subsidising at least $1.5 billion the Darwin LNG proect for LNG export and petrochemical production according to budget papers

Santos loses appeal for Barossa gas project before full bench of the 🇦🇺Federal Court which upheld there was a lack of consultation with #FirstNation Tiwi Islanders who have vowed to protect their “sea country”. #climateLitigation #BarossaProject #FossilGas #FossilFuels #ClimateEmergency #Santos
