Outrage at deal to export 20 million tonnes of Victoria’s brown coal. Urgent call for Gillard to take control on climate policy.
Friday, 25 June 2010
Environment groups have expressed anger at a deal by coal company ‘Environmental Clean Technologies’ (ECT) to export up to 20 million tonnes of brown coal a year from Victoria.
Federal Resources Minister Simon Crean is expected to throw the federal government’s support behind the deal in Melbourne this afternoon.
Environment groups are dismayed at the federal government’s support for this polluting deal and have called an emergency protest outside the signing.
“This is a disastrous first action for the new Gillard Government. We’re calling on Prime Minister Gillard to take control on climate policy and withdraw the federal government’s support for a brown coal export industry” said Environment Victoria CEO Kelly O’Shanassy.
“Prime Minister Gillard has a difficult task ahead of her on climate change and it’s a worrying sign if one of the Gillard Government’s first announcements is to support a brown coal export industry” she said.
“If the project goes ahead, millions of tonnes of greenhouse pollution will be pumped into the atmosphere each year, and the Latrobe Valley’s necessary shift to a clean energy future will be delayed” said Ms O’Shanassy.
“This is precisely the wrong message for Australia to be sending ahead of this weekend’s G20 meeting where fossil fuel subsidies are on the agenda. We should be reducing our reliance on coal, not increasing it” said ACF Climate Change Program Manager Tony Mohr.
Friends of the Earth Campaign Coordinator Cam Walker said the company was misleading the Australian public by claiming they could make brown coal ‘clean’.
“Companies have been saying they can make brown coal clean since the early 1970’s yet there is no proven way to make brown coal environmentally friendly as claimed by ECT. This is pure greenwash” he said.
“Victoria’s brown coal is highly polluting and very inefficient. It is really disappointing and damaging to international climate efforts that the federal government is actively spruiking this dirty fuel on the world stage and attempting to lock developing countries into a polluting pathway” he concluded.

Wales must get 100 per cent of its energy from renewable sources, says National Assembly committee.
Wales should also aim to meet all of its energy needs from renewable sources and, in the context of the need to reduce carbon emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050, set a target date for achieving this, says a National Assembly for Wales committee.
Locally and community produced energy should be a central part of Wales's future energy plans according to the Committee.
