A climate activist's challenge in the NSW environment court to approvals to expand two power stations is likely to focus on CCS conditions set by the NSW Planning Minister and whether he has adequately considered ecologically sustainable development.

Concerned that vague 'CCS' conditions sets a dangerous precedent for other projects, WA's Conservation Council has appealed against EPA recommendations for a $2.5 billion chemical project, arguing the company must make interim emission cuts equivalent to what CCS could one day deliver.

Western Australia has four decades to cut annual greenhouse gas emissions from about 133 million tonnes to about 28 million tonnes, says a State EPA report that recommends carbon capture and storage conditions be attached to the environmental approval for a new $2.5 billion urea plant.
