Improve Energy Efficiency
Emissions from pumps can be reduced by scoping for pump systems with improved efficiency. More efficient systems will use less electricity to operate and therefore reduce Scope 2 emissions.
Reduce
As new technologies and best practices emerge in the future, they will be evaluated and incorporated into management practices to continue to improve mitigation of emissions. 9. Conclusions The Project is estimated to generate 11,614 t CO 2 -e of GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) across its 7- year life. The maximum annual emissions for the Project are estimated as 9,947 t of CO 2 -e, occurring in 2028 during construction. This year accounts for 86% of total Project emissions, with drastic reductions in emissions during operation and closure. The contribution of the Project’s annual emissions to the annual GHG emissions inventory of Australia is 0.003% and to the inventory of Queensland is 0.009%. Therefore, the contribution the GHG emissions generated from the Project are determined to be a minor contributor to state and national emissions. Emission management practices outlined in this assessment will be used to reduce Project emissions to the extent practicable and opportunities for emission mitigation in the future will continue to be identified.
