Our Climate Policy

Human-made climate change is real. But we can do something about it. We want Australia to transition to a zero-carbon economy. Quickly.

Squadron Energy is focused on enabling more rapid decarbonisation. We invest in renewable generation and firming assets such as batteries that complement renewable power generation when solar or wind power generation isn’t available or sufficient.

We won’t invest in coal, oil sands, crude oil, or in any developments in sensitive marine environments. But we will invest in energy transition projects such as gas power generation (with the intention to transition to green hydrogen or other low emission fuels) which has a pathway to 100 per cent green hydrogen.

Energy transition projects are needed to provide a reliable and secure energy system in the short-term, without creating a longer-term dependence on fossil fuels.
