Independent energy think tank Beyond Zero Emissions condemns misleading statements made by the fossil fuel industry in the wake of the APPEA's (Australian Production Petroleum Exploration Association) belated release of the report it commissioned into the climate change impact of Coal Seam Gas.
Matthew Wright, executive director of Beyond Zero Emissions says:
'The report's conclusions are contrary to claims made by APPEA boss Rick Wilkinson in The Australian, where he claims that "activists have a blind spot when it comes to the gas industry's greenhouse benefit." The APPEA report clearly shows that Coal Seam Gas is more greenhouse gas intensive than coal when used for electricity generation whether it's in Australia or China.'
