Benefits

The Queensland Curtis LNG Project represents a significant investment in Queensland.

Key benefits of the project include:

• Provision of a clean and efficient energy source with carbon dioxide emissions about half those of coal
• Creation of about 4400 jobs, comprising around 3600 people during construction and over 800 during operation
• Additional demand for goods and services in Queensland communities
• Significant investment in Queensland’s gas industry to unlock supply options so Australia’s gas market can grow, leading to more opportunities for gas producers and more supply and choice for consumers
• Potential to boost the supply of water, a by-product of coal seam gas production, to communities in southern Queensland
• Generation of significant royalties and tax revenues for the Queensland and Australian governments over the life of the project
