"Environment groups have called for federal intervention following revelations
an LNG export hub in Darwin has emitted large volumes of methane from an LNG
storage tank since 2006.
The
ABC on Monday revealed years of failures to address the leak. State and
federal authorities reportedly approved Santos’ controversial 25-year Barossa
offshore gas project without requiring the leak to be repaired or replaced.
The incident adds to serious doubts about whether Australia can meet its
commitment to reduce emissions of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas.
The vital pledge will only be met if governments and industry prioritise
climate action and human health over profits."
