Mining and burning coals are the major causes that lead to climate change

Adani is planning to establish the biggest coal mine in Australia's history whilst the world is trying to solve the climate crisis.

The impacts of Adani's Carmichael

Destroy the traditional lands and waters without the consent of Wangan and Jagalingou people

An additional of 500 more coal ships pass through the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area each year

A huge quantity of groundwater in Queensland will be drained

Increase the risk of damaging aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin

Increase a significant amount of carbon pollution to out atmosphere

Brief Summary:

The Adani Carmichael Mine and Rail Project, led by Bravus, is a key part of Australia's energy industry, focusing on energy production, sustainability, and community development.

Main Points: 1. Generating the future energy mix Bravus supports a low carbon future, and is part of the largest solar energy companies in the world. This suggests a move towards renewable energy while still operating in traditional resource sectors.

2. Enabling Positive Growth

- Bravus claims to help by providing an affordable electricity, making it cheaper and reliable. As most people in certain countries tend to struggle with the access of electricity.

3. Supporting our communities

The Adani Carmichael Coal Mine in Queensland's Galilee Basin has been a big topic in Australian politics and environmental debates. It played an important role in the 2019 federal election, influencing voters and politicians.

Main Points:

1. Job Creation and Economy

Supporters say the mine will create jobs and help the economy in regional Queensland. Therefore, it can be seen as a boost for local communities.

2. Environmental Concerns

Opponents worry about damage to water supplies, local wildlife, and the Great Barrier Reef. As shipping coal from the mine could also harm ocean ecosystems.

3. Political Impact

The mine became a major issue in Australian politics, with some politicians strongly supporting it and others opposing it. As a result, this raised debates about Australia’s energy future and climate change policies.

What’s next for Adani, the coal project that helped to return Morrison to power?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Much is at stake as Adani’s Carmichael coal mine becomes a swing factor in delivering victory to the federal Coalition – and approvals have now been fast-tracked.

# data[].attributes.body
The Adani mine will produce 10 million tonnes of coal per year from the Galilee Basin and build 200 km of railway to transport coal to Adani’s port. From there, ships will transport coal through the Great Barrier Reef, raising concerns about damage to the fragile ecosystem.

The local people and the Queensland government are concerned about coal exports through the Great Barrier Reef waters and increased coal burning, will cause severe environmental damage and accelerate global warming, causing harmful coral bleaching.

Although Adani promised that he would provide more jobs and economic growth, but the Great Barrier Reef is priceless and must be protected.

After major legal, financial, and environmental issues, Bravus Mining & Resources, an Adani Group partner, opened the Carmichael coal mine in Queensland, Australia, in December 2021. Due to funding limitations, the initial production plan for 60 million tonnes per year was lowered to 10 million tonnes.

# data[].attributes.body
The Adani subsidiaries' Carmichael Coal Mine and Rail Project consists of a 60 million-ton-per-year coal mine and a 189-kilometer railway that connects to ports and existing rail networks in Queensland's Galilee Basin. The $16.5 billion project, which has been approved with limitations, will have a major influence on local communities including Isaac and Charters Towers councils. It would feature six open-cut pits, five underground mines, and vast infrastructure. It is expected to produce up to 3800 operating and 2475 construction employment.

The controversy of Adani's Carmichael coal mine in Queensland

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most controversial mining project

On one hand, this project could leads to economic benefits, financial viability (MB>MC), on the other hand it could cause environmental damage

1. ENVIRONMENT CONCERN

Adani stated that “The project must comply with a strict regulatory framework to ensure groundwater is protected. The State and Federal Government approvals for the Carmichael Mine include around 100 different conditions relating to groundwater”

Additional 4.7 billion tonnes of carbon pollution over 60 years

Project will increase shipping traffic which will cause climate change as well as damage the Great Barrier Reef

The estimation of 270 billion litres groundwater from Central Queensland's aquifers will be drained due to the project

Although Adani stated that “The project must comply with a strict regulatory framework to ensure groundwater is protected. The State and Federal Government approvals for the Carmichael Mine include around 100 different conditions relating to groundwater”, Doongmabulla Springs still might be impacted

2. Indigenous Land Rights Dispute

Ancestral lands, waters and cultures of Indigenous people will be destroyed if Carmichael goes ahead

Adani has mentioned that they received support from the indigenous people, however,

those critics are still unhappy about it.

3. Financial and Economic Debate

Cost AUD 16.5 billion initially, however, it scaled down to AUD 2billion

With the development of financial and environmental concern there are more than 30 financial institution have refused to fund the project.

4. Corporate and Investor Backlash

lots of companies withdraw support for the miner

Samsung Securities has stopped to provide financial backing for Adani Mining's coal port as well as other miner's coal projects (Protesters targeted Samsung)
