一项3000亿美元的Glencore-Rio Tinto合并计划可能会恢复Rio Tinto参与新南威尔士州猎人谷地煤炭扩张, A proposed $300 billion Glencore-Rio Tinto merger may revive Rio Tinto’s involvement in NSW’s Hunter Valley coal expansion, altering plans due to environmental concerns.

Glencore和Rio Tinto之间可能合并3 000亿美元,可能会影响新南威尔士的猎人谷行动煤炭扩张,因为Rio Tinto在交易开始后可能会重新进入项目。 A potential $300 billion merger between Glencore and Rio Tinto could affect the Hunter Valley Operations coal expansion in New South Wales, as Rio Tinto may re-enter the project if the deal proceeds. 与Yancoal的合资企业HVO在环境问题上修订了其2025年计划,将煤炭开采量减少2.2亿吨,将南部矿坑的年产量削减至1 300万吨,并将矿井寿命缩短至2045年和2042年。 HVO, a joint venture with Yancoal, revised its 2025 plans amid environmental concerns, reducing coal extraction by 220 million tonnes, cutting annual output at the south pit to 13 million tonnes, and shortening the mine’s life to 2045 and 2042. 这些变化是在对甲烷排放量进行审查之后进行的,其中一项分析估计,该项目20年的排放量将超过每年的全球航运排放量。 The changes followed scrutiny over methane emissions, with one analysis estimating the project’s 20-year emissions would exceed annual global shipping emissions. 环境团体和机构对大堡礁受到的影响表示关切,尽管国际人类文组织认为这些因素不应影响联邦决定。 Environmental groups and agencies raised concerns about impacts on the Great Barrier Reef, though HVO argued such factors should not influence the federal decision. Glencore确认的会谈仍在进行中,但强调没有任何协议是肯定的。 Glencore confirmed talks are ongoing but stressed no deal is certain.
