EY’s 2023 report for Australian Energy Producers (AEP) misrepresented Australia’s gas future as “Paris” and “net zero” aligned, using selective data, non-existent scenarios, and assumptions that defy climate science. AEP then used this “independent” analysis to lobby for new gas fields, pipelines, and export contracts – arguments that helped shape the government’s Future Gas Strategy and lock in gas expansion through 2050 and beyond.
