"According to Stateline Operating, the disposal of wastewater in close proximity to its producing assets by Devon and Aris had caused 'permanent damage to Stateline’s wells and production, and irrevocably lost oil and gas in place.'”

🗣️ Community members are speaking out 🗣️

The burden of INEOS’ Project One's is invisible in its environmental impact assessment.

But it cannot be invisible in court.

This case, filed by @clientearth.bsky.social and partners, is precisely what accountability is for: To bring the entire chain of impact into view before we get locked into decades of harm from new fossil infrastructure.

The landmark case will weigh full-lifecycle emissions: For the 1st time, a court will weigh Scope 3 emissions for plastics — the full climate footprint from fracked feedstocks to waste incineration.

⚖️ The law requires the whole system to be seen, not just what fits inside the fence line.

The problem: INEOS drastically understated the climate + health impacts of the project. New independent research shows Project One would bring:
🏭 3.8M tons of CO₂e/yr
🫁 More early deaths from pollution than the jobs it will bring.

This case is indeed way bigger than Antwerp.

It is a test of whether Europe will apply its own climate laws to stop the fossil-to-plastic buildout — and choose a just transition instead of locking in decades of fossil fuel dependence.

Europe does not need more plastics‼️

A transatlantic movement is rising: the lawsuit comes just after community members from U.S. fracking hotspots and petrochemical hubs visited Antwerp — joining forces with locals to highlight the global costs of petrochemical expansion. 🌍✊
