Experts are criticizing a proposed oil refinery in Western Australia, labelling it "dinosaur technology" in the face of the global clean energy transition. The criticism comes as a government feasibility study into the project is underway.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The political capital for new fossil fuel projects in Australia is evaporating. If you're building clean energy infrastructure, the opposition to this refinery is your proof point that the market is ready for the alternative you're selling.
