Adani Australia Coal Mine

India's Adani Group is preparing to ship the first coal cargo from Australia's most controversial mine, after battling a seven-year campaign by climate activists and defying a global push away from fossil fuels.

Billionaire Gautam Adani's coal mine in Australia, a project that's become a global emblem for opposition to fossil fuels, is preparing to begin exports after more than a decade of bitter dispute over its development.

As the Adani Group's Australian business, re-branded as Bravus, announced it had struck coal at Carmichael project in Australia, Mr Adani took to Twitter to say he could not have hoped for a better birthday gift than being able to provide affor

The Adani conglomerate coming under increasing pressure over its controversial coal mine in Australia said it won't let protests dissuade it from completing the project.

Billionaire Gautam Adani rejected criticism over the environmental impact of a huge coal mine planned by his company in Australia, saying renewables can't meet all of India's energy needs.

Mr Adani bought the resource in Australia's Galilee Basin in 2010 as companies rushed for overseas energy supplies amid forecasts of booming demand.

The mining company is now expected to start construction at the site within days. The State Department of Environment and Science said in a statement that it has approved the most recent version of the plan, which Adani submitted just a day ago.

If given the green light, Adani could begin breaking ground at its Carmichael mine site within weeks, after more than eight years of planning.

Australia's Queensland state government has rejected a management plan of Indian energy giant Adani to protect the endangered black-throated finch bird population, saying the company's proposals do not meet the approval conditions for the proposed billion dollar mine project.

Adani Enterprises has stepped closer to construction of a thermal coal mine in the Australian state of Queensland after Australia's environment minister said on Tuesday it had approved a groundwater management plan.

The announcement of self-funding comes after environmental groups pressured banks in Australia and overseas not to lend money to the project.

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has strongly supported energy giant Adani's controversial 16.5 billion dollar coal mine in Queensland, saying the project has gone through extensive environmental permitting and should go ahead.

In a blow to the Adani group, the Australian government today said it would not finance a vital rail-link project that supports beleaguered Indian energy giant's 16.5 billion dollars Carmichael coal mine.

The move marks the latest blow to the long-delayed Carmichael mine, which has yet to line up financing as a growing list of Australian and international banks, including three Chinese state lenders, have said they would not back the project.

Reports said around 2000 people rallied in Melbourne's Princes Park carrying placards reading 'Coal=CO2!!!' and 'Protect Our Future'.
