The DBNGP to Albemarle Lithium Plant Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Western Australia.

Location

The pipeline will run from a portion of the existing Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) to the Albemarle Kemerton plant in the Kemerton Industrial Park area of Wellesley, Western Australia.

Background

In February 2019 DBNGP (WA) Nominees Pty Limited proposed to construct 670m of underground natural gas pipeline between the Albemarle Kemerton Plant (a lithium hydroxide manufacturing plant) and the existing Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline.

Environmental Impact

In February 2019 the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) of Western Australia determined that "the likely environmental effects of the proposal are not so significant as to warrant formal assessment."
