Greenpeace made this request to ensure new evidence about the impacts of Woodside\u2019s proposed activities are properly considered in the Minister\u2019s assessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Properly assessing these extra details is extremely important given what is at stake. Woodside\u2019s Burrup Hub is a massive threat to our ocean and Western Australia\u2019s pristine and rare environment. Taking the time to fully assess whether the project complies with Federal environmental laws is simply following due process.

Greenpeace is requesting that the full, real world impacts of these inter-related proposals are properly considered by the Minister.

A staggering 6.1 billion tonnes of CO2-e would be released into the atmosphere if the full Burrup Hub project goes ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Other groups have also been raising concerns about the cultural impacts of the project given the cultural importance of the area. Potential damage to the ancient rock art on the Murujuga peninsula from the emissions of the North West Shelf facility will also need to be considered by the Minister.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the Burrup Hub proposal is moving Australia in the wrong direction for our environment and our energy future. Approving this project could lock Western Australia into decades of fossil fuel dependence, directly contradicting global efforts to address climate change. The renewable energy potential of our west coast will be further delayed if this project goes ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The proposal to extend the North West Shelf facility until 2070 is not only a major local environmental issue\u2014it\u2019s a pivotal test of Australia\u2019s commitment to protecting marine ecosystems, establishing a renewable energy economy and reducing our emissions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking Forward <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The next steps for the North West Shelf extension proposal involve a careful review by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
