We're taking Woodside to court

Fossil fuel giant Woodside tries to paint itself as a climate hero. Truth is, it’s Australia’s biggest climate threat.

We reckon Woodside is deceiving Australians about the impact its dirty gas is having on our climate. So we’re taking it to court.

Greenpeace has confronted fossil fuel giant Woodside at sea, outside its office, inside its AGM and from a crane 140 meters above the ground. Next stop, the Federal Court.

Your donation can help protect the oceans

You can help stop the biggest fossil fuel project currently proposed in Australia to protect precious whales, dolphins, turtles - and our climate - from devastation.

Hidden off the coast of Western Australia, Woodside wants to seismic blast in endangered whale habitat. This is just the first part of Woodside’s monstrous Burrup Hub, a toxic nightmare that will endanger reef systems and devastate ocean habitats until 2070.

We have the tools to stop them. With your power behind us, we will. Your regular gift, just once every four weeks, will ensure we have a stable base of funds to fight daily for a clean and safe future for our planet and all who call it home.

It’s Woodside against the world

Woodside’s proposed Burrup Hub is Australia’s dirtiest gas drilling project, with two monstrous new offshore gas fields, hundreds of kilometres of pipelines and the expansion of two onshore plants to process Woodside’s gas for export.

The Burrup Hub, if approved, will create a climate bomb, emitting over 6.1 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere.

Fight for her future

The Burrup Hub will cause extraordinary damage to natural ecosystems throughout Western Australian waters - and our climate. Deep sea drilling, seismic blasting and the building of billions of dollars worth of destructive mining rigs will harm countless marine life, such as dolphins, sea turtles, whales and fish. 

Woodside's project will harm precious marine life, damage important reef systems and destroy Australia’s commitment to reaching our climate targets.

Fight for her future

It will cause extraordinary damage to natural ecosystems throughout Western Australian waters - and our climate. Deep sea drilling, seismic blasting and the building of billions of dollars worth of destructive mining rigs will lead to the death of countless animals, such as dolphins, marine turtles, whales and fish. In addition to the immediate loss of habitat, the impact on the climate will be felt for generations to come. 

This is truly a project that will injure precious animals, harm important reef systems and destroy Australia’s commitment to reaching our climate targets.

Put Woodside on the spot at their AGM 

Greenpeace supporters and other members of the public protested in front of the Woodside annual general meeting, calling for the fossil fuel giant to ditch its gas drilling plans.

Pushed Woodside to clean up its trash

Woodside left a toxic oil tower rotting in the ocean near Ningaloo Reef for over five years. Greenpeace activists found and scaled this oil rig, and sent Woodside a clear message - and six months later, Woodside finally removed it from the sea.

Held off seismic blasting for over a year

Greenpeace worked long and hard to subject Woodside’s seismic blasting plans to legal and environmental scrutiny, which has meant their dangerous seismic blasting was prolonged for over a year.
