Help stop Woodside’s polluting deep-sea gas project

Our new report shows a spill could be devastating
We have shown, for the first time, the full scale of Woodside's dangerous Burrup Hub gas project. A spill or accident could release toxic gas into 12 different marine parks with dangerous pollution reaching as far as Indonesia.
Woodside’s toxic project runs directly through whale migration routes. If there's a spill 12 different marine parks and protected areas could be impacted.
The risks of deep-sea gas drilling are too great
Woodside's Burrup Hub gas project is the most climate-polluting project currently proposed in Australia.

Pushed 21 companies to cut emissions
This year, we pressured Optus to become the final major Australian telco to commit to switch to 100% renewable electricity. In total we have pushed 21 major companies from Coles and Woolworths to Bunnings and Kmart to commit to power their businesses with renewable electricity by 2025.
Saved the Bight
In 2020, after a relentless campaign, the Norwegian oil giant Equinor withdrew its plans to drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight. This comes after Chevron and BP also withdrew their plans thanks to the pressure from Greenpeace and local communities.
Ended single use plastic bags
In 2018, Australia's two major supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths, committed to phasing out single-use plastic bags and made further commitments to reducing plastic in their supply chains.
