EPA closes emission consultations

The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (Appea) has urged that the new greenhouse gas emission guidelines being considered by the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) should not pose a risk to investment, as the public consultation process closes.

The EPA earlier this year invited public comment on its greenhouse gas guidelines, after it was forced in March this year to withdraw its initial revised guidelines after industry participants claimed they would jeapordise billions worth of investment, and thousands of jobs.
