What A rally organised by Friends of the Earth Melbourne to oppose the proposed Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) project intended to use Victoria’s brown coal to produce hydrogen for export to Japan. To offset the more than 720,000 petrol cars worth of emissions likely to be produced by the project, it relies on the world’s largest carbon capture and storage initiative.
The rally will argue that we cannot afford to start a single new coal project if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
