Environment Centre NT is hosting an urgent briefing on plans for the world’s largest offshore carbon dumping project and why it threatens the Territory’s unique wildlife, fishing culture and tourism industry.
Carbon dumping is the latest greenwashing tactic being used by the fossil fuel industry to further its expansion, and it’s coming to Darwin.
Japanese gas giant INPEX has just lodged plans with the federal environment department for Australia’s first offshore carbon dumping project (carbon capture and storage).
The proposed Middle Arm gas hub – propped up by our taxpayer dollars – is at the heart of Big Gas’ carbon dumping greenwashing scam in the Northern Territory.
When: Wednesday 3 December at 6pm ACST (7:30pm AEST, 4:30pm AWST).
The line-up of experts will include:
- Kirsty Howey, Executive Director of the Environment Centre NT
- Louise Morris, The Australia Institute
- Chelsea Deng, Australian Marine Conservation Society, Fossil Fuel Industry Campaigner
- Ryan Day, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies.
Expert panellists will explain why bringing massive ships loaded with carbon dioxide waste to Darwin and then pumping it hundreds of kilometres through underwater pipelines before dumping it under the ocean floor is a recipe for disaster.
INPEX is progressing fast towards approvals for this unprecedented project and it’s NT communities, nature and taxpayers that will pay the price.
With so much at stake, we need your help to stop Big Gas polluters from dumping on the NT, and to protect our oceans and the climate for future generations.
Zoom registration links will be sent out closer to the event.
