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.
LNG Conservation Council moves to quash Woodside's growth plans The Conservation Council has launched legal action against Woodside and the WA Government that may reopen environmental approvals essential to the Scarborough and Browse LNG projects.
Fracking Kimberley fracker expects to escape WA gas export ban Black Mountain expects the McGowan Government to soon waive its gas export ban but fracking the gas must wait for two years of environmental studies.
Chevron Chevron slashes global spend and ignores energy transition Chevron slashes more than $US20 billion off its five-year spend due to lower demand and prices for fossil fuels but allocates just 2% of its 2022 budget to the energy transition.
Carbon capture and storage Chevron faces little grief from Gorgon LNG's 7 million tonnes emissions miss Gorgon LNG has emitted 7 million tonnes of climate-warming CO2 more than permitted but Chevron is unlikely to suffer at the hands of lax Australian governments.
Climate Change A global carbon price could soon be a reality: Australia should prepare A carbon price and dividend could help households and shield Australian exporters from coming EU and US carbon border taxes: UNSW economics professor.
Climate Change Prepare for hotter days, says the State of the Climate 2020 report The South West of WA has a hotter, drier future with more bushfires thanks to rising CO2 levels, according to the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology.
Carbon Emissions Zali Steggall's climate change bill comes as business steps up Independent MP Zali Steggall's climate change bill aims to take the short term politics out of climate change at the national level and replace it with science, economics and certainty.
Carbon Emissions US under Biden will rejoin the Paris climate agreement and Australia will feel the heat When a Biden-led USA rejoins the Paris Agreement and takes strong climate action Scott Morrison will have few international allies for his stubborn idleness.
Carbon Emissions South Korea joins China, Japan in net-zero in $80B squeeze on Australian fossil exports South Korea, Japan and China's tightened climate goals will crunch Australian thermal coal, make LNG investments harder and possibly kill Santos' Barossa LNG project.
Carbon Emissions Japan's net-zero by 2050 to hit Australian exports A $40 billion market for Australian coal and LNG exports just became less welcoming with Japan's commitment to zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Ammonia $50B Pilbara energy hub targets 10M tonnes a year of green ammonia The giant $50B Asian Renewable Energy Hub proposed for WA's Pilbara has upsized and switched from providing power to make green ammonia, in Australia's most ambitious hydrogen play.
