Adanis $15 billion coal project
Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt has extended his review of Adani's A$16.5 billion ($15.5 billion) Carmichael coal and rail project to August 1, a spokesperson for the minister has said. "The date for a decision has been extended to ensure the minister can thoroughly consider the large volume of material associated with this project referral," Hunt's spokesperson said in an email. The project in the untapped Galilee Basin, designed to produce 60 million tonnes a year of thermal coal used in power stations, has been attacked by green groups opposed to both new coal mines and the rail lines and ports needed to ship the coal.
