(1) About one million tonnes annually when Muja AB is recommissioned.
(2) Muja AB will contribute approximately 1.2% of the WA's greenhouse gas emissions, based on the state's greenhouse gas emissions (according to the Federal Department of Climate Change) being around 80 million tonnes CO2-e.
(3) 1.279 million tonnes/year in 2006/07 when the four units of Muja A&B were decommissioned in April 2007.
525,000 tonnes in 2008/09 (two units recommissioned in July 2008 in response to the Varanus gas crisis were decommissioned again in April 2009).
