AGL Energy Ltd.’s plan for a coal-bed methane project in Australia’s wine-growing and coal-mining Hunter Valley region sparked a protest outside its annual shareholders meeting in Sydney.
Dozens of protesters holding placards and chanting slogans handed flyers to shareholders arriving at the City Recital Hall for today’s meeting. Two days ago, Origin Energy Ltd. said it found traces of chemical contaminants at eight coal-seam gas exploration wells in the state of Queensland.
