The regional EPA of the state that hosts Inpex's Ichthys LNG and Santos' Darwin LNG has just announced the outcome of a review of the Darwin Airshed LNG Licenses. The review was triggered last year following a significant upward revision of Inpex's 2023/24 emissions estimates, including benzene, and related community concern about potential human health impacts. But as a result of the upward revision of emissions estimates, the EPA of the Northern Territory initiated its own review and came up with as many as 23 recommendations for the Darwin Airshed and the licenses for Ichthys LNG and Darwin LNG. For Ichthys LNG, the state environmental agency recommends the installation of continuous monitoring equipment for the acid gas stream, capable of measuring benzene and other pollutants of concern in real time. Combined, Ichthys LNG and Darwin LNG account for about 10% of the annual LNG imports of Japan and Taiwan.
