New figures for Browse emissions worse than before
The Australian Greens have expressed concern that new documents released by the State and Federal governments for the proposed Browse Basin gas hub in the Kimberley show it will have an even heavier greenhouse gas footprint than first estimated.
“We were already alarmed by WA Department of State Development figures released earlier this year showing that the project could emit up to 32 million tonnes per annum of greenhouse gases, equivalent to all of New Zealand’s national emissions,” Greens Senator for Western Australia Scott Ludlam said.
