Senator Bob Brown
asked the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, upon notice, on 13 February 2008:
With reference to the proposed Gunns Limited pulp mill:
(1) Over the life of the mill, how many tonnes of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, will be produced.
(2) Can the Minister specify how this production of gases will be offset, either by activities outside the premises of the pulp mill or other means.
Senator Wong (Minister for Climate Change and Water)
—The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:
(1) & (2) Greenhouse gas aspects of the proposed Gunns Limited pulp mill are described in the Pacific Air and Environment Greenhouse Gas Report, part of the Integrated Impact Statement Supplementary Information produced on behalf of Gunns. The main points are also summarised in the Preliminary Documentation produced as part of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 assessment of the proposal. Greenhouse issues were also considered in the Recommendation Report prepared by the then Department of the Environment and Water Resources. All of these documents are available at the following website: http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/notices/assessments/2007/3385/documents.html
