PIPELINE TO NOWHERE

Market Forces analysis reveals:

  • Australia does not need the gas from Beetaloo fracking for domestic gas power generation needs.
  • Beetaloo fracking plans are costly, highly polluting and unnecessary.

    The astronomical costs ($2.7 – $4bn) of APA’s planned pipeline would be passed on to consumers on Australia’s east coast.

  • Australia doesn’t have a gas supply problem – it has an LNG export problem.

    Despite APA Group’s claims that fracking Beetaloo will benefit the domestic market, if fully realised, Beetaloo Energy’s plans would see 83% of the gas it fracks exported overseas.

  • The burning of fracked gas from Beetaloo would worsen the climate crisis and drastically undermine Australia’s climate commitments, when we need to transition to clean energy solutions.
