I refer to this statement by Buru Energy Ltd in their latest Quarterly Report (Dec 2022), “As part of the continuing work on the commercialisation of the Rafael discovery, Buru entered into an agreement with Transborders Energy, to conduct a pre-feasibility study for a Kimberley-based compact marinised Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant solution.” and I ask:given that Buru has previously been the recipient of substantial grants
and subsidies from both the State and Federal governments (e.g.,
exploration grants, CCS studies), would the WA government consider
subsidising either the floating LNG facility or any gas pipeline to
bring the gas to the facility, or both?
