Expensive gas is not a viable solution for Whyalla, in the interim nor in the long-term. Leaving aside the flawed assumption that gas is key to phasing in decarbonisation, it is economically unviable. reneweconomy.com.au/if-green-iro...
If green iron is the future for Whyalla Steelworks, locking in gas is a dead end
Expensive gas is not viable for Whyalla Steelworks, in the interim or the long-term. If we’re going to do massive subsidies, let’s at least back the best solution for a decarbonising world.

For years, BHP’s story has been defined by its massive iron ore business. But the rise and rise of copper has changed all that.

Investors can take this opportunity to engage with Woodside’s board on expectations for the incoming CEO.
Our analysis shows that ceasing oil and gas exploration and development would generate almost $3 billion more NPV than a business-as-usual strategy.
