“The structural gas decline from 2028 needs to be filled one way or another, so the rubber is hitting the road,” Pfeiffer said.who argue it is too close to residential areas and schools, and fear it will set back Australia’s climate ambitions by entrenching the use of harmful fossil fuels.Viva believes it can clear environmental hurdles when the project is put out again for public consultation later this year.
“The findings of the latest gas statement of opportunity report point to the risks from not moving quickly enough to get Victorians off polluting methane gas and making a fast and equitable shift to clean renewable electricity,” Environment Victoria’s Joy Toose said.
