西澳大利亚州政府已批准将Woodside西北大陆架天然气厂延长50年, The Western Australian government has approved a 50-year extension for Woodside's North West Shelf gas plant, ending a six-year approval process. 该项目自1984年以来一直在运作,现在将持续到2070年,但要遵守定期排放审查和与当地传统所有者协商等条件。 The project, operational since 1984, will now continue until 2070, subject to conditions like regular emission reviews and consultations with local traditional owners. 尽管取得了经济效益,但环境团体反对由于预期的温室气体排放而延长。 Despite economic benefits, environmental groups oppose the extension due to expected greenhouse gas emissions.
