  • Exposing Royal Golden Eagle Group’s Sprawling Empire of Destruction PT. Toba Pulp Lestari: A Corporate Culprit Repeat Offender PT. Toba Pulp Lestari Tbk (IDX:INRU), is over 90% owned and controlled by the Tanoto family through a complex series of offshore companies (outlined p63-71 ). RAN commissioned satellite analysis of forest loss in PT. Toba Pulp Lestari’s industrial tree plantation (HTI) concessions in Indonesia from 2015-2023. Our analysis of satellite imagery found that PT. TPL concessions lost 1,390 ha (3,434 acres) of natural forest after the introduction of RGE's ‘ no deforestation ’ policy in 2015. At least 390 hectares (963 acres) of this forest loss occurred after December 2020, the cut-off date for FSC Full Forest Management certification. The documented deforestation since December 2020 should not only prohibit APRIL’s and PT. TPL’s association with FSC, it should also preclude PT. TPL products from being imported into the EU market ...

  • First Name Subject Message davina Boycotting a Broken Environmental Assessment Process Dear Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia, For the past month, I have debated whether to invest my time in submitting public input regarding Woodfibre LNG's proposed amendment for a second floatel. My hesitation stems from a simple truth: the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) is not listening. Despite overwhelming public concern about this project's devastating impacts on global climate and local health in Squamish, the EAO continues to rubber-stamp approvals, rendering public engagement a hollow formality. When I studied environmental law over 10 years ago, I was taught that 95% of industrial projects in BC are approved under the environmental assessment (EA) process, a statistic that underscores its weakness. Years of firsthand observation have only confirmed that the EAO prioritizes corporate interests over environmental protection and public welfare. At this point, ...

  • Published by Greenpeace International May 2025 Summary of the ‘Under The Eagle’s Shadow’ report: investigating evidence of an RGE/Tanoto shadow empire Across Indonesia, there are rainforests facing destruction. Large tracts of the country’s remaining forest and carbon-rich peatland lie within concessions earmarked for clearance by pulp and palm oil companies whose owners are hidden in offshore secrecy havens. In other cases, the plantation companies have local shareholders, but there is reason to suspect they are acting as nominees for different, undisclosed beneficial owners. But who decides if the forests stand or fall? New research asks that question in respect of plantations and processing facilities dotted around the country, and comes up with an answer that challenges the green credentials touted by one of the nation's most powerful corporate groups. Behind the scenes of philanthropic roadshows and public commitments to No Deforestation, evidence suggests a hidden ...

  • Did Christy Clark Pull a Too-Fast PR Stunt on LNG? Woodfibre LNG announcement ‘misleading,’ says Squamish Nation chief. Mychaylo Prystupa 4 Jan 2017TheTyee.ca Mychaylo Prystupa is a veteran journalist with a focus on energy and politics. His personal website is here. Our journalism is supported by readers like you. Click here to support The Tyee. Hours before the BC Liberal convention in November, Premier Christy Clark flew by helicopter to a morning press conference in Squamish to hover over an ancestral Aboriginal village site now eyed for a liquefied natural gas export terminal. Her aerial tour and media event was filmed, and the footage quickly posted to the Office of the Premier’s website (https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2016PREM0133-002280) . Clark had a big campaign style-announcement: the Woodfibre LNG plant was a go, she said. “This is the first of 20 projects that are in the pipeline somewhere to go forward so far, and we are just delighted to be able to say ...

Sukanto Tanoto (left) and Rich Coleman, holding documents the government refuses to release. After the BC Liberals cancelled the fall 2016 sitting of the Legislature, Coleman — the co- chair of the BC Liberal re-election committee — went on an Oct. 16 to 21 junket to Southeast Asia. It included stops in Kuala Lumpur, to meet Petronas executives, and Singapore, to meet Indonesia-born, Royal Golden Eagle Group owner Sukanto Tanoto. On Oct. 18, British Columbia’s natural gas minister posed for photographs with the billionaire behind the planned $1.6 billion Howe Sound LNG export plant.

  • Who owns Woodfibre LNG? Meet Sukanto Tanoto The owner of Woodfibre LNG is a notorious billionaire from Indonesia with a current net worth of US$2.7 billion. Tanoto owns Royal Golden Eagle: a conglomerate of pulp and paper, palm oil, viscose, fracking, and LNG export and import companies which has assets exceeding US$30 billion. Royal Golden Eagle and its companies have been linked to: Tax evasion and profit shifting 2012: Fined US$205 million for tax evasion. 2013: Royal Golden Eagle used a web of shell companies for tax evasion, and routinely engaged in fraudulent accounting practices. 2017: Tanoto featured prominently in the Paradise Papers for profit shifting. 2021: Accused of ongoing profit shifting and tax evasion. Human rights abuses Tanoto’s companies have allegedly forced indigenous people off their land in Indonesia, responding to protesters with paramilitary violence from hired security resulting in six dead and hundreds injured.

  • August 2022: one LNG carrier could have earned May 2023: one LNG carrier could have earned LNG prices are extremely volatile When Russia invaded Ukraine, LNG prices skyrocketed to a peak of US$54.16 per MMBTU in August 2022. But a mild winter in Europe, coupled with rapid deployment of renewable energy and lower demand from Asia due to high prices, led prices to crash to US$9.90 per MMBTU in May 2023. Woodfibre LNG hopes to sell to Asia, but why would Asia buy expensive LNG when renewable energy is now much more affordable per unit of energy? LNG is expensive, volatile, and risky.

  • ieefa.org | 1Queensland LNG exports: A decade of high domestic prices, falling local demand Queensland marked 10 years as an LNG exporter in January 2025, and has emerged as a key supplier of LNG, primarily to China. Besides boosting Australia’s energy trade with Asia’s largest economy, the industry has left a legacy of higher domestic gas prices, weaker domestic gas demand, lower than expected state royalty payments and poor financial returns for investors. In the decade since Queensland started exporting LNG, domestic gas prices have tripled due to the stronger linkage between LNG export prices and domestic gas prices. According to the RBA, prices are likely to remain higher than pre-2015 levels for decades to come. Correspondingly, gas demand in eastern Australia has dropped to a 25-year low, with large reductions in demand from the electricity and manufacturing sectors, which tend to be more price sensitive. There are indications gas demand may fall further in ...

  • 17 Sep 2025 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in response to a request from My Sea To Sky (MS2S) regarding the proposed floating worker housing at the Woodfibre site in Howe Sound, BC. As an expert on glass sponges, I am providing my professional assessment of their ecological role and the potential impacts of a large, moored vessel on these fragile long-lived organisms. MS2S have asked me: Do glass sponges indicate a certain kind of habitat? Glass sponges are found in the deep-sea globally, but uniquely form complex reef-forming structures from southern Alaska, through British Columbia, to northern Washington State. They are typically found in cold and stable environments, often in deeper waters, but in the Howe Sound they are as shallow as 20 m depth, within recreational diving limits. They form structurally complex habitats that support high biodiversity, including commercially important species of rockfish, and thus are an indication of high biodiversity ...

  • THE IMPACT OF LNG EXPORTS ON US ENERGY BILLS AND INFLATION MAY 2024 Why are Americans paying more than ever before on our energy bills — even though domestic energy production is surging? One crucial reason is that big oil and gas companies are sending more American energy overseas than ever before. In particular, the rapid growth of natural gas exports has been a leading driver of energy inflation and price volatility in the United States. Since 2016, when the United States first started exporting liquefied natural gas, domestic gas production has increased 45 percent. Despite the surge in domestic production, American households and businesses have seen their gas bills go up, not down. The United States has been exporting more and more natural gas, and is now the leading LNG exporter in the world. By tying America’s natural gas prices to overseas markets, LNG exports have made U.S. natural gas consumers vulnerable to global market volatility and price shocks similar to ...

  • LNG Windfall Profits 2022 1 War gains: LNG Windfall Profits 2022 Mark Ogge September 2022 SUMMARY Energy prices spiked worldwide following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting restrictions on Russia's gas exports. This has in turn increased the value of Australian LNG exports and the profits of LNG companies. We estimate the war related windfall gain to LNG companies in 2021-22 at between $26 billion and $40 billion. Despite widespread calls by economists and commentators to tax this windfall gain, the Australian Government is yet to do so. At least $20 billion could be raised by a tax on war related profits. This is enough to fund the Australian Government’s entire $20 billion investment in its Rewiring the Nation initiative to modernize Australia’s electricity grid and would leave funds to compensate Australian households and businesses unfairly impacted by spiralling energy costs, largely because of the behaviour of the ...

  • Henriette Lake Dam Memo Henriette Lake Dam Breach and Consequence Classification Analyses - 2022 The Henriette Lake Dam Breach and Consequence Classification results suggest that a breach of Henriette Dam would not result in any significant wave activity within Howe Sound. The wave heights within Howe Sound near the shoreline reached up to approximately 0.7 m south west of the mouth of Woodfibre Creek with maximum velocity of 6 m/s, and up to approximately 0.9 m to the northeast of the mouth of Woodfibre Creek with a maximum velocity of 1.0 m/s. Initial waves and flow velocity entering Howe Sound attenuated rapidly. A review of available information regarding wave activity within Howe Sound (Golder 2015) indicates that the maximum wave resulting from a breach of Henriette Lake Dam would not be significantly larger than the annual average wind-induced wave height (0.4 m) and would be substantially smaller than the reported five-year wave height (2.6 m).

These abuses and violations have resulted in the denial of safety, security, and human dignity.

Howarth Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA Correspondence Robert W. Howarth, Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA. Email: howarth@cornell.edu Funding information Park Foundation Abstract Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the United States have risen dra- matically since the LNG‐export ban was lifted in 2016, and the United States is now the world's largest exporter. This LNG is produced largely from shale gas. Production of shale gas, as well as liquefaction to make LNG and LNG transport by tanker, is energy‐intensive, which contributes significantly to the LNG greenhouse gas footprint. The production and transport of shale ...

NEWSOME, JILLIAN W. GREGG, TIMOTHY M. LENTON, IGNACIO PALOMO, JASPER A. J. EIKELBOOM, BEVERLY E. LAW, SALEEMUL HUQ, PHILIP B. DUFFY, AND JOHAN ROCKSTRÖM In 2019, Ripple and colleagues  (2020) warned of untold suffering and declared a climate emergency together with more than 11,000 sci- entist signatories from 153 countries. They presented graphs of planetary vital signs indicating very troubling trends, along with little progress by humanity to address climate change. On the basis of these data and scien- tists’ moral obligation to “clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat,” they called for transformative change. Since the article’s publication, more than 2,800 additional scientists have signed that declaration of a climate emergency (see supplemental file ...

  • ARTICLE The mortality cost of carbon R. Daniel Bressler 1,2,3✉ Many studies project that climate change can cause a significant number of excess deaths. Yet, in integrated assessment models (IAMs) that determine the social cost of carbon (SCC) and prescribe optimal climate policy, human mortality impacts are limited and not updated to the latest scientific understanding. This study extends the DICE-2016 IAM to explicitly include temperature-related mortality impacts by estimating a climate-mortality damage function. We introduce a metric, the mortality cost of carbon (MCC), that estimates the number of deaths caused by the emissions of one additional metric ton of CO2. In the baseline emissions scenario, the 2020 MCC is 2.26 × 10‒4 [low to high estimate −1.71× 10‒4 to 6.78 × 10‒4] excess deaths per metric ton of 2020 emissions. This implies that adding 4,434 metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020—equivalent to the lifetime emissions of 3.5 average Americans—causes one ...

  • Canada’s Claims of “Low-Emission” LNG Are Not Accurate Well-to-Tank Carbon Intensity of Canadian LNG Briefing – June 2025 2 Briefing - Canada’s Claims of “Low-Emission” LNG Are Not Accurate • Canada’s methane emissions for oil and gas activities reported in the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program are 54% lower than satellite measurements. • Projected Canadian methane emissions from liquefaction (3.48gCO2e/MJ) are inconsistent with those reported by the US (12.55 gCO2e/MJ) and other nations. Due to the absence of large-scale LNG facilities in Canada as of early 2025, Canadian estimates are mostly based on proposed low-carbon scenarios and not real world projections. • Well-to-tank emissions (production, extraction, liquefaction, and transport) of Canadian LNG (28.58 gCO2e/MJ, AR5 GWP100) are roughly the same as the average (e.g., 20.22 gCO2e/MJ, AR5 GWP100) for EU Imports (Russia, Algeria, US, Nigeria, Qatar, UK, Trinidad and Tobago, Norway). • ...
