Energy Outlook

Meeting the increasing demand for energy poses many challenges.

We are committed to achieving and maintaining excellence in environmental care throughout our operations in Australia.

All our plants in Australia have programs aimed at minimising energy consumption and flaring.  

Water conservation teams at all our sites have been highly effective in reducing water consumption in Australia.

We take a pro-active approach to avoid contamination of the environment.  

Meeting the increasing demand for energy poses many challenges: increasing efficiency, developing new supplies and safeguarding the environment. Technology will play a critical role in meeting these challenges.

Natural gas is a proven, reliable and cost-efficient energy source for power generation and is expected to be the fastest-growing major fuel through 2030.
