I mean does it even matter when this shit was always going to go ahead anyways. I feel like they could have over estimated and the government would still be like all good mate.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The CSIRO's gas research arm, GISERA, which is partly funded by fossil fuel companies, was tasked with finding out the scope of the offsets needed.

Climate Analytics director Bill Hare said the institute compared the study to "scientific literature, the experiences in other countries and the data from similar operations in other parts of Australia".

Climate Analytics calculated emissions from the Beetaloo could be 45 per cent higher than the CSIRO estimated — about 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalent over 25 years.

Gas industry lobby group Australian Energy Producers NT director David Slama said the facts and science must be followed to get the best outcome for Territorians.

"The CSIRO report reinforces the findings of the independent Pepper Inquiry that the Beetaloo Basin can be developed in alignment with Australia climate change mitigation targets," Mr Slama said.

"Further, gas from the Beetaloo Basin will play an important role in supporting renewable deployment, powering industry and manufacturing, including critical mineral processing, and facilitating the shift away from coal, both in Australia and the region."
