Are you wondering why the gas industry is saturating commercial TV with advertising for gas? Haven’t they just tripled their profits? Nannas recommend this article by the Climate Council to help clear that up for you. If you believe that climate change is real and ending fossil fuel mining is urgent it’s not that complicated.
The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) is the gas industry association and lobby group. It has praised Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects in Norway, Sleipner and Snøhvitis siting them as proof that CCS is both feasible and necessary. The Australian gas industry has received millions of dollars of government subsidies for carbon capture and storage. However, a new independent report raises new concerns about the projects in Norway and Michael West Media also reports on the lessons for Australia.
From 19 June APPEA is running a three day online Introduction to the Oil & Gas Industry and Net Zero Technologies for contractors, government policymakers, professionals and advisors, employees new to the industry and community members seeking basic industry understanding. This could be another Gas Disinformation Week.
