LEAKY & SNEAKY : Santos has been caught red-handed using a giant gas tank which has been leaking at least 184 kg of methane per hour for around 20 years at the Darwin Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant.

The NT Environment Protection Authority (NTEPA) approved the tank in 2020 : the leak was reported just hours later while Santos was buying the tank. NTEPA Chair is Paul Vogel: on ABC on Sept 3rd he described the methane emissions from the leak as “insignificant” and the fire risk as “low or negligible”. He DIDN’T say that he’s a paid lobbyist for an organisation that works for gas industry clients. Santos kept quiet & continued to use the leaky tank with no penalty or requirement to fix it. Santos is aiming for massive profits from its Barossa gas field – with its extensive undersea piping north of Australia … What could possibly go wrong? And the results – more carbon emissions heating the atmosphere and endangering life, livelihoods and health across the globe.
