📢New research: Japan has spent $5.2 billion in public funds on carbon capture. Now, it’s pushing its broken model across Southeast Asia to trap the region in fossil fuels and use it as a dumping ground for carbon pollution. https://t.co/q2B0Ph01j4

TOKYO 📍 Don’t miss this exhibition from Noor Alam and Suman Kanti shining a light on the daily lives of communities in the Matarbari region of Bangladesh—their fishing, farming, and family life by the sea—under the expanding shadow of coal and gas-fired power plants.

9/ This article is an urgent call to pay attention to what's happening in Australia’s Northern Territory and to the international forces enabling it. Read the full story by @marabudgen 👇 🔗

8/ For Tiwi campaigners like Antonia Burke, it’s clear: “We are thrown into the deep end, then called activists if we don’t like it.” “If Japan just went away and stopped investing in (projects like Barossa), we might have a hope.”

7/ To comply with new rules, Santos plans to ship CO₂ offshore to East Timor, a costly, uncertain fix that would push Barossa’s cost to $6.1B. Critics say it’s greenwashing. Indigenous leaders say it’s dispossession.

6/ Japan, meanwhile, has resold much of the LNG it imports, making huge profits while lobbying Australia not to tighten climate rules. In 2023, Japan even asked for Barossa to be exempt from stricter emissions policies.

5/ Australia says it's tackling climate change. But PM Albanese’s government is still approving gas megaprojects like Barossa, and extending others to 2070 trying to be a “climate leader” + fossil fuel exporter.

4/ Japan is key to the story: 🇯🇵 JERA (Japan’s largest power generator) owns 12.5% of Barossa. 💸 That stake was financed with a $346M loan from JBIC Japan’s state-owned development bank. 📦 Japanese firms are lined up to buy the gas.

3/ The Tiwi people have fought hard taking Santos, the developer, to court twice. They won one case for lack of consultation. But Barossa presses on. Gas production is expected to start soon.

2/ Tiwi elder Paulina “Jedda” Puruntatameri says: “This is the home of the sacred sea serpent, Ampiji…the caretaker of this land and sea” That sacred place is now under threat from the massive Barossa gas project, backed by Japanese financing and interests.

As Japan keeps buying gas, Aboriginal Australians pay the price | @japantimes Traditional owners are calling for offshore gas drilling near the Tiwi Islands to not go ahead. Meanwhile, Japanese investors including JERA continue to financially back the project.

Our partners at @OilfieldWitness, @FoEJapan @PriceofOil just put out a groundbreaking report that documents significant #methane emissions from #LNG projects in Japan. More evidence about the serious #ClimateRisks across the LNG supply chain.

🌊 Today is #MarineDay in Japan, honouring the ocean – yet Japan’s big 3 banks are sinking millions into Santos’ Barossa gas project, right on top of pristine #TimorSea reefs. ⚠️ 1 gas field = 1.5M cars’ CO₂ each year. RT if you think MUFG, Mizuho & SMBC should #DropSantos.

Chiyoda is just one of many Japanese corporations that dominate the US and global LNG industry. Its fellow Japanese firms should take note: LNG is bad for our climate, bad for community health, and bad for business.

🔥This is big: President of Japanese firm Chiyoda, a global leader in construction of liquified natural gas (LNG) plants, announced that the company “will no longer build large US LNG projects” on the scale of 1 trillion yen. (~$6.8B USD). https://t.co/LveVYgIN5d.

📷 The Wet’suwet’en are calling on JBIC to suspend funding and mitigate harm. JBIC must address ongoing rights violations and climate destruction and reject funding for the expansion of LNG Canada. Learn more and help amplify: https://t.co/jtx6oXCico #FossilFreeJapan

These egregious harms are not singular. JBIC's financing of fossil fuels has left a legacy of harm across the globe from Mozambique to the Philippines and US.

JBIC provided $850 million in financing for LNG Canada despite its reliance on the Coastal GasLink pipeline which cut through Wet’suwet’en lands without their consent. This led to police raids, arrests and irreparable ecosystem damage.
