Smoke across Karratha sky line caused by flaring - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Smoke across Karratha sky line caused by flaring - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): Woodside says a technical issue at its gas plant on the Burrup Peninsula caused a trail of dark smoke to billow across Karratha's sky line yesterday afternoon.

Smoke spreads across Karratha

A spokeswoman for the oil and gas giant confirmed the issue was triggered in the LNG Train One at the Karratha Gas Plant.

It led to an increase in flaring and some dark smoke coming from the plant.

Woodside says flaring is an essential process for safe operations of a gas plant and is normal industry practice.
Flaring release benzeen, CO2 and other polluting toxins. We don't need this to contribute to worse climate change after the summer from hell we've just experienced!
