There are three major companies that have made deals to prop up Scarborough and buy Woodside’s dirty gas:
- Perdaman – 1.5 million tonnes a year
- Uniper – 2 million tonnes a year
- RWE – 840,000 tonnes a year
Woodside can’t build Scarborough if nobody wants to buy their dirty gas. So Say NO to the corporate gas buyers and stop Scarborough in its tracks.
Tell Perdaman to Say NO to Scarborough gas
Western Australian company Perdaman is planning to build a fertiliser processing plant right next door to Woodside’s onshore Scarbrough facility.
Not only will Perdmanan’s plan to buy Woodside’s gas help pay for Scarborough to get built, but it will release pollution of its own, and increase air acidity that will further damage the nearby Aboriginal rock art.
Say NO to Scarbrough supporters are already successfully applying pressure to Perdaman – including protests outside Perdaman’s Perth office – calling for them to stop this highly polluting development which will help prop up Woodside’s Scarborough plans.
Write directly to Perdaman now to demand they don’t accept gas from the Scarborough field.
Email Vikas Rambal,
Chairman and Managing Director
Here’s some points to include in your email:
- I am writing to request that Perdaman publicly commit to not buying gas from Woodside’s proposed Scarborough development.
- Perdaman urgently needs to say no to Scarborough gas in order to prevent a new gas field being exploited and accelerating catastrophic climate change, while threatening marine life and damaging Aboriginal cultural heritage.
- I note that Perdaman has a commitment to net zero emissions by 2050
Uniper is a big polluting German energy company, and Scarborough’s biggest planned gas customer.
Uniper talks a lot about renewable power, and claim they want to be climate neutral by 2035, but in the meantime they’ll be buying up, and burning off climate change-accelerating gas from the Scarborough gas field.
Even the International Energy Agency agrees: the world can’t open up any new fossil fuel gas fields, like Scarborough if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change.
In the last decade people all over the world have joined social movements and begun speaking out against big companies like Uniper and forcing them to abandon dirty projects like Scarborough.
Pushing Uniper to suspend its contract with Woodside is critical to stopping Scarborough from going ahead.
We can stop Scarborough dead in its tracks if Uniper dumps Scarborough’s dirty gas. It’s time to speak up and SAY NO to Uniper.
Write directly to Uniper now to demand they don’t accept gas from the Scarborough field.

Senior Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement Manager
Here’s some points to include in your email:
- I am writing to request that Uniper publicly commit to not buying gas from Woodside’s proposed Scarborough development.
- Uniper urgently needs to say no to Scarborough gas in order to prevent a new gas field being exploited and accelerating catastrophic climate change, while threatening marine life and damaging Aboriginal cultural heritage.
- Committing to expanded gas purchases beyond the next decade is in clear opposition to Uniper’s own aims for power generation in Europe to be carbon neutral by 2035 and the entire group by 2050 at the latest.
Tell RWE to Say NO to Scarborough gas
RWE is another big polluting German company that sources around 80 per cent of its power from fossil fuels.
RWE has been clearing the Hambach Forest in Germany for a dirty brown coal mine. Only 10 percent of the Hambach Forest is still standing.
Now RWE is planning to prop up Woodside’s emission heavy Scarborough gas mine by buying 840 tonnes of dirty gas a year.
Write directly to RWE now to demand they don’t accept gas from the Scarborough field.
Email Jens Wiggershaus Head of Sustainability
Here’s some points to include in your email:
- I am writing to request that RWE publicly commit to not buying gas from Woodside’s proposed Scarborough development.
- RWE urgently needs to say no to Scarborough gas in order to meet your carbon neutrality commitments, and prevent harm to marine life and damage to cultural heritage.
- Accepting gas from the Scarborough field enables this new gasfield to be developed. According to the International Energy Agency, no new gas fields can be developed if the world is to retain a chance of keeping global heating <1.5C and meet the goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
- Ruling out accepting gas from the Scarborough field is essential on climate, cultural heritage and ecological grounds.
