Coalmine expansions and developments approved in Australia in 2023 are expected to add nearly 150m tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere over their lifetimes – equivalent to almost a third of the country’s annual climate pollution.

According to an analysis by the Australia Institute, it is likely to extend the development’s life by 11 years, i.e., until the mid-2030s – and add about 31m tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere once it is burned. That equates to 6% of Australia’s annual emissions. The coal mine’s owner, Sojitz Blue, will have until 2073 to decommission the mine. Read More
