Brisbane Times reported that the amount of new coal mining output being assessed by the Berejiklian government eclipses the Adani megamine proposed for Queensland and dwarfs its carbon emissions. According to analysis by Lock the Gate, a review of 10 major new mines or extension projects with key decision points during the coming year shows the potential for 75 million tonnes of annual coal production in NSW, more than the 60 million tonnes Adani hopes its Carmichael mine in central Queensland will produce each year.
Even though some of the new mines will be underground, the total land disturbance from the 10 projects would total 39,000 hectares, also larger than Adani''s proposed 28,000-hectare disruption, Lock The Gate calculates, using published data from the projects.
Water use would also be greater, with 23.5 billion litres a year for the 10 ventures compared with Adani''s 21.5 billion litres.
The anti-coal group said that greenhouse gas emissions from the new fleet of mines would be about 50 per cent greater, at 181 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent versus Adani''s 120 million tonnes,
Georgina Woods, a Lock the Gate campaigner, said that "We have already increased the volume of the coal we produce [in NSW] since 2010 by more than Adani is expected to bring to the surface. "And now we''re proposing to do the same again."
Adani''s Carmichael mine was one of the most debated issues in the recent Queensland elections. Lock The Gate predicts mining and the controversial coal seam gas project proposed for Narrabri in the state''s north-west will be also prominent issues when NSW voters go to the polls in March 2019.
Land, water and carbon emissions from the new mines will be the focus of a "Time2Choose" campaign Lock the Gate will launch on Tuesday
