Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, continued

Area 1 - Gas and Oil Exploration and Production

During 2001, Origin Energy started a four-year project to reduce greenhouse gases from a gas plant situated near our gas fields at Yellowbank, western Queensland.

We use 'flaring' technology to burn waste methane gas, which would have been released into the air. By burning methane gas, carbon dioxide is still produced, however this gas is much less damaging to the environment.

This project will save about 700,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases - the same as taking all of Canberra's 170,000 cars off the road for a full year!
