Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: Amplitude Energy (Amplitude) actively advocates for the continued role of fossil fuels in the energy mix, particularly fossil gas. It is unclear whether the company fully supports top-line climate policy, including the Paris Agreement or the temperature goals. The company also retains memberships to several industry associations which engage negatively on climate policy in Australia, including the Australian Energy Producers.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: It is not clear if Amplitude supports climate policy in its top-line messaging. In its Climate Action Policy, accessed March 2025, it stated that it ‘recognizes’ the challenge of climate change and the goals of the Paris Agreement, it is unclear if the company is fully recognizing IPCC scientific consensus on climate change. In its November 2023 submission to the Future Gas Strategy, it stated support for net-zero emissions without specifying a target date. On the need for climate policy, Amplitude stated in its 2024 sustainability report, published in October 2024, that it works with government in the design of climate change regulation and policies, without stating whether it supports such policies.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: InfluenceMap has been unable to identify any public engagement from Amplitude on specific climate-related regulations.
Positioning on Energy Transition: Amplitude strongly advocates for the continued role of fossil gas in the energy mix, repeatedly calling the fuel a future fuel, not just a transition fuel. For example, Amplitude CEO Jane Norman stated as much in the company’s 2023 Annual Report published in October 2023, and also reportedly called for regulatory changes to enable new fossil gas supply in a September 2023 AFR article. In its November 2023 submission on the Future Gas Strategy, Amplitude appeared to oppose widespread electrification, claiming that this would increase emissions, while advocating for new fossil gas supply and investments. Similarly, in its February 2023 submission to the consultation on ‘Reforming Australia’s Domestic Gas Security Mechanism’, it stated that the optimal outcome for energy security is ‘to develop as much gas supply as possible from sources closest to the largest domestic demand regions’.
Industry Association Governance: Amplitude has not disclosed its memberships to industry associations. Nonetheless, the company’s CEO, Jane Norman, sits on the board of the Australian Energy Producers, which routinely advocates for the role of fossil fuels in the energy mix. The company also holds a membership to the Australian Institute of Petroleum.
InfluenceMap collects and assesses evidence of corporate climate policy engagement on a weekly basis, depending on the availability of information from each specific data source (for more information, see our methodology). While this analysis flows through to the company’s scores each week, the summary above is updated periodically.
