This report analyzes the proposed Carmichael coal mine project by the Adani Group in Queensland, Australia. It examines the project's financial implications, including potential revenue streams for the Australian government and the creation of jobs, while also addressing the significant environmental impacts. These impacts include the potential industrialization of the Great Barrier Reef, consumption of water resources, and carbon emissions. The report explores the conflict of interest between economic benefits and environmental protection, the debate surrounding native title, and the potential consequences of dumping sediment near the Great Barrier Reef. It also considers India's energy demands and the role of coal in meeting those needs, comparing the project's emissions to Australia's current levels. The report concludes by highlighting the need for effective transmission networks and the importance of balancing economic development with environmental sustainability.
