Santos is an Australian oil and gas company focused on the exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil, with gas forming the core of its portfolio. The company is a major supplier of domestic gas in Australia and a significant exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Asian markets.

ACCR has engaged with Santos since 2000. In August 2021, ACCR filed proceedings in the Federal Court, challenging Santos’ claims that natural gas provides “clean energy” and that it has a “credible and clear plan” to achieve “net zero” emissions by 2040. It was the first court case in the world to challenge the veracity of a company’s net zero emissions plan. The case was heard in the Australian Federal Court in 2024, and a decision is pending.
