Full decommissioning of offshore oil and gas
.png)
Decommissioning offshore oil and gas infrastructure is a $60 billion opportunity for Australia. With enough political will, we can:
- Create jobs in Australia
- Protect future generations from bearing the cost of cleanup
- Recycle 3.7million tonnes of scrap steel for use in Australia
Offshore oil & gas remediation means jobs for Australia’s future. Sign the petition to keep jobs here.
Why is this important?
Right now Australia is missing out on the full benefits of a domestic decommissioning industry. Oil and gas giants are attempting to shirk their responsibility for full decommissioning, dumping tonnes of degrading pipelines, concrete and steel off Australia's coast.
Australia has the capability to safely dismantle oil and gas infrastructure here, but instead companies are towing this infrastructure overseas, and then returning the hazardous waste back to Australia. In other words, the jobs and valuable industrial materials go offshore and we get the waste.
We call on State and Federal Governments to close loopholes that allow oil and gas giants to dump waste and deny jobs to Australians.
