18 May 2021, Melbourne: A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) mapping out a global pathway to net-zero emissions has confirmed that Australia cannot effectively get to net-zero emissions by 2050 unless AGL, Australia’s biggest climate polluter, closes its coal-burning power stations by 2030.
SYDNEY, May 17 2021 - Revenue for the operators of coal burning power stations has plunged by $5.4 billion as coal use continues to decline, providing further impetus for AGL, which burns more coal than any other company in Australia, to bring forward its coal closure timeline. [1]
SYDNEY, Tuesday 11 May 2021 - In response to the Treasurer’s Federal Budget speech, the below comments are attributable to Dr Nikola Čašule, Head of Research & Investigations at Greenpeace Australia Pacific.
SYDNEY, May 11, 2021 - Greenpeace Australia Pacific and AGL will face off in the Federal Court in Sydney on 2 June 2021 in a landmark case that could determine the ability of charities to use corporate logos for the purpose of satire, parody and criticism.
Energy giant AGL has launched legal action against environmental advocacy organisation Greenpeace Australia Pacific, following the launch of a Greenpeace campaign alleging AGL is Australia’s biggest corporate climate polluter.
SYDNEY, May 7, 2021 - A major new UN report released today reveals the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from methane, while the Federal Government continues to throw millions at the gas industry in pursuit of a ‘gas led recovery’ which Greenpeace Australia Pacific warns is fuelling dangerous climate change.

Australia will not be able to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within a safe time frame unless AGL, Australia’s largest energy company, brings forward closure of its polluting coal assets, according to a new report released today by Greenpeace Australia Pacific.
MELBOURNE, 30 April 2021 - In response to Angus Taylor’s announcement that the Federal Government wants coal power stations to be paid for their capacity rather than their output, Greenpeace Australia pacific spokesperson Nelli Stevenson said that this is “fossil fuel ideology gone mad”.
The Federal Government’s plans to build a polluting, expensive gas plant are a waste of public funds, when all evidence shows that renewable energy backed by storage will provide cheaper, cleaner power, says Greenpeace Australia Pacific.
