An independent report has revealed that two Northern Territory developments, the Beetaloo Basin gas project and Darwin Harbour facility, will emit significantly more greenhouse gases than previously estimated. The report, titled Emissions Impossible, was conducted by Climate Analytics and commissioned by Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation. It challenges the findings of a previous report by CSIRO's Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA), which had given the projects the green light. Climate Analytics' research indicates that the Beetaloo Basin project alone would account for 11% of Australia's 2021 emissions.
An independent report found that two Northern Territory developments will contribute much more greenhouse gas emissions than estimated. The Emissions Impossible report, by Climate Analytics and commissioned by Nurrdalinji Aboriginal Corporation , examined the expected emissions of the Beetaloo Basin gas project and Darwin Harbour facility and was presented to a Senate inquiry.
's Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance . defended its research, saying it "stands behind the quality of its research and integrity of its peer-reviewed process". But, CEO of Climate Analytics Bill Hare described those findings as "flat-out wrong". According to Climate Analytics' research, the Beetaloo Basin project alone would total 11 per cent of Australia's 2021 emissions.
