Hence QPM's green credentials are based solely on the idea that methane flared from a coal mine is 28 times the GWP of carbon dioxide consumed through QPME and TECH. Ton per ton it's still the same volume of gas, just one is methane the other is carbon dioxide.

It's legislatively "green" but it's not truly zero emissions. The unanswered question is how long that approach will be sustainable for if Australia is truly going to become a net zero country.

That of course then raises another question, if you're building a plant today that will last 30-40 yrs, and knowing that emissions rules are only going to get tighter, you should be designed the plant to be the lowest emissions possibly achieveable in 2024 because you'll only have to outlay more expensive CAPEX in under a decade to reduce emissions further.
