Many of the United States biggest corporations are among the signatories, including Walmart, Apple, McDonald s, and Starbucks. An ambitious 2030 goal is required to catalyze a zero-emissions future.

Senex, CleanCo Sign New Gas Deal
Sydney-listed Senex Energy has signed a new gas sales agreement with fellow Australian power generator CleanCo Queensland for 2.55 petajoules (2.4bn ft
3) of natural gas in 2022, it said on March 9.
The one-year agreement starting on January 1, 2022, brings Senex’s total contracted volumes with CleanCo to more than 5.1 petajoules over the 2020-2022 calendar years. Gas will be supplied at the Wallumbilla gas hub in Queensland at a fixed price in line with current market levels, Senex said.
Senex-produced natural gas fuels Swanbank E, Queensland government-owned CleanCo’s 385 MW gas-fired power station near Ipswich in south-east Queensland.
