Strike Energy Clouded future of gas in WA drives Strike Energy to urea Strike Energy's Stuart Nicholls regards the WA gas market as a dangerous place to be as new cheap supply comes in as the big resource players prepare to move away from fossil fuels.
Carbon capture and storage Santos and ENI team up to tackle dirty gas and decommissioning Santos and ENI are looking for solutions for CO2 and removing old facilities in the waters north of Darwin. Time will tell if the problems are solved or just delayed.
Climate Change The 1.5℃ global warming limit is not impossible – but needs political action now There are rapidly escalating risks in global warming between 1.5℃ and 2℃ and the focus now must be on governments’ 2030 targets for emissions reduction.
Carbon Emissions South32's coal-fired Worsley Alumina two-thirds dirtier than Alcoa If South32’s low profile coal-burning Worsley Alumina operated like Alcoa’s facilities 1.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions a year would be avoided: the same as Alcoa's Wagerup refinery.
Carbon Emissions Eye in the sky spies Shell's Prelude floating flare machine Shell's production of millions of tonnes of carbon emissions by burning excess gas at Prelude LNG 400km off the WA coast will no longer go unnoticed, with satellites now tracking flaring across the globe.
Carbon Emissions Ichthys gas supply plans to destroy Inpex emissions pledge Inpex pledged in January 2021 to cut its emissions 30 per cent this decade while it was planning to boost CO2 from Ichthys LNG, which accounts for three quarters of its carbon footprint, by 30 per cent.
Carbon Emissions Environment watchdog wants Chevron plan for net-zero Wheatstone LNG emissions by 2050 Chevron's Wheatstone LNG is in the firing line of a new approach from the WA Environmental Protection Authority that forced big emissions cuts from the Waitsia gas project.
Energy Transition Woodside: Scarborough or stranded like a beached whale For Woodside, it is Scarborough or bust. Incredibly the LNG specialist has no plan B ready if its last chance to develop an LNG project evaporates. And Scarborough is no sure thing.
Hydrogen Cheap green hydrogen to push out alternatives and threaten gas: BloombergNEF Cheaper solar power making green hydrogen production competitive in many countries by 2030 in a boon for use in Australia but a hurdle for dreams of a huge export market.
Carbon Emissions WA’s top carbon polluters: LNG, power, iron ore and alumina WA's industrial greenhouse gas emissions are dominated by four products and a handful of companies, including a few that have managed to keep a low profile in the climate wars.
net-zero 2050 Climate crisis: hope of staying within 1.5°C vital to spurring global action Global warming can be limited to 1.5°C with commitments now to significant emissions reductions this decade, and in a circular logic, those commitments need faith that climate change can be tamed.
Climate Change Seriously ugly: Australia if the world heats by 3°C this century Emissions are on track to near 3℃ warming by 2100 that would give future Australians a seriously degraded life, according to the Australian Academy of Science, but strong action this decade can produce a better future.
Climate Change Why net-zero emissions pledges should be met with scepticism The world does not have room to plant enough trees to provide "right to pollute" offsets for companies claiming net-zero by 2050 and more actual reductions in emissions are required.
net-zero 2050 Big WA polluters fail green investment test Most big WA carbon polluters including Chevron, Adbri, South32 and Woodside are wanting on emissions reduction targets, strategy and cash, according to benchmarking for the world's biggest investors.
Carbon Emissions Ten hurdles to Twiggy's green vision for FMG Andrew Forrest has put his iron ore miner FMG on a fast track to net-zero emissions by 2030. Achieving high speed on a rocky road will not be easy.
Carbon Emissions Inpex’s Ichthys LNG emissions bust negates 1.7M solar panels Ichthys LNG is giving Inpex and Australia a huge carbon pollution problem that is likely to grow as the Japanese company looks to troublesome carbon capture and storage to limit the environmental and financial damage.
Carbon Emissions Chevron sells greenhouse-impact certified LNG to Singapore Singapore's Pavilion Energy will buy Australian LNG from Chevron with certified greenhouse emissions, in another sign that Asian buyers are favouring less carbon-intensive gas.
Carbon Emissions The green legal action that could halt Woodside’s $US11.4B Scarborough LNG Woodside wants to sanction its $US11.4 billion Scarborough LNG project in 2021, but a legal challenge to regulatory approval for years of carbon emissions could put it in a two-year legal limbo.
net-zero 2050 Australia will face carbon levies unless it changes course President Biden's carbon tariff plan is aimed at China but Australian exporters will be collateral damage unless the Federal Government adopts real measures to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Energy Policy WA Libs fills Labor’s energy policy void with a coal exit and green hydrogen The Liberals know where to take WA energy but probably not how to do it. Labor is on top of the detail but shy of facing the inevitable. So close to a bipartisan approach, will our political class blow it?
Carbon capture and storage Gorgon emissions to soar until Chevron fixes restricted CO2 injection Gorgon LNG's carbon emissions will jump by more than one million tonnes a year until Chevron fixes an underground pressure management problem that caused WA's safety regulator to curtail CO2 injection by two-thirds.
Carbon capture and storage Chevron’s Gorgon emissions to rise after sand clogs $3.1B C02 injection system The WA safety regulator has told Chevron to turn down Australia's $3.1 billion showpiece Gorgon LNG carbon capture and storage system until problems are fixed, meaning carbon emissions will rise.
