All of these are impacted in a multitude of ways by Australia’s coal and gas expansion. State governments have had the primary responsibility for managing resource development in Australia, but have failed to find an appropriate balance between the interest of the mining …

Coal and gas: Opportunities for national law reform Introduction The purpose of this report is to identify existing Commonwealth law and policy relevant to the regulation of coal mining and unconventional gas exploration and production in Australia. Having identified the regulatory gaps, this report outlines opportunities for law reform in 10

Coal is mined in every state of Australia. The largest black coal resources occur mainly in Queensland and New South Wales. About 70% of coal mined in Australia is exported, mostly to eastern Asia, and of the balance most is used in electricity generation. Coal production in Australia increased 13.6% between 2005 and 2010 and 5.3% between 2009 and 2010. In 2016, Australia was the biggest net exporter of coal, with 32% of global exports (389 Mt out of 1,213 Mt total), and was the fourth-highest producer with 6.9% of …

There have been over 878 outburst events recorded in twenty-two Australian underground coal mines. Most outburst incidents have been associated with abnormal geological conditions.

Loans to Coal & Gas Ports Since January 2008 over $135 billion has been loaned to the fossil fuel industry in Australia. The table below shows the commercial banks that have loaned the most money to fossil fuel projects and companies. Use the tabs to see the leading lenders to coal and gas power, coal export ports, mines and LNG plants.

In Australia, nearly 80% of coal is produced from open-cut mines in contrast with the rest of the world where open-cut mining only accounts for 40% of coal production. Open-cut mining is cheaper than underground mining and enables up to 90% recovery of the in situ resource.

National mapping reveals that 37.3% of Australia is covered by coal and gas licences and applications. That amounts to 285 million hectares - an area almost 13 times the size of Great Britain! Our best food-producing lands, our finest natural areas and some of our most important water resources are all at risk from unsafe coal and gas mining.

Summary: Coal and Gas Mining in Australia - Opportunities for National Law Reform Report by the Australian Network of Environmental Defender's Offices, 2012 Nine national reforms to protect communities, food security, health, water, climate and biodiversity from the impacts of unsustainable coal and unconventional gas mining in Australia 1.

The coal seam gas (csg) industry is booming in Australia. Since the start of the 21st century, the industry has increased dramatically and, given the significant reserves predicted to exist in the Eastern states, this expansion is likely to continue as demands in the domestic and export market increase.

Fires are ravaging Australia, but its government is only doubling down on coal and gas. A transition away from fossil fuels is needed more than ever, in Australia and everywhere else. A CFA Member works on controlled back burns along Putty Road on November 14, 2019 in Sydney, Australia.

Coal seam gas (CSG) and the gas that comes from shales are chemically very similar. They generate the same amount of heat and CO₂ when burned in your heater or at an electricity power plant.

Coal Seam Gas (CSG) is a naturally occurring methane gas found in most coal seams and is similar to conventional natural gas. In Australia the commercial production of CSG commenced in 1996 in the Bowen Basin, Queensland. Since then production has increased rapidly, particularly during the first decade of the 21st century.

Our best food-producing lands, our finest natural areas and some of our most important water resources are all at risk from unsafe coal and gas mining.

Coal seam gas (CSG) mining is a risky, invasive form of unconventional gas mining. Coal seam gas extraction usually involves tens of thousands of gas wells, with roads, pipelines, compressor stations, wastewater dams, and other infrastructure. A CSG project can spread across hundreds of thousands of hectares of land.

Coal mining development and unconventional gas development are principally regulated by State and Territory governments. State and Territory laws regulating these activities are deficient, particularly in respect of biodiversity conservation, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air quality, water resources, chemical use and access to land.
