“The $3bn Gorgon carbon capture and storage (CCS) development, on Barrow Island off Western Australia’s Pilbara coast, was supposed to start operating in 2016, backed by $60m in federal government funding. Chevron and its partners in the project, including Shell and ExxonMobil, said it would capture up to 4m tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) from an underwater gas field each year and inject it in a reservoir more than 2km beneath the island.
It was supposed to cut the direct greenhouse gas emissions from the Gorgon liquified natural gas (LNG) development by 40%. Nearly 10 years on, this is yet to happen.”

Today's environmental GOOD NEWS!
The hole in the ozone layer closed on December 1
The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that protects us from UV light. Years ago, it was noticed that chlorofluorocarbons in aerosol sprays were aiding in the depletion of the ozone layer, and a hole was detected in this protective layer. After years of regulation and work, the hole is closed.
