Siemens to support Adani’s Australian coal project despite protests
FRANKFURT: German engineering group SiemensNSE 0.81 % said it would fulfil its contractual obligations to a controversial coal mining project in Australia’s outback, attracting criticism from environmental groups on Monday.
Siemens was awarded a contract last year to provide signalling technology for a railway line to transport coal from a remote coal mine run by India’s Adani Group in northern Queensland state.
The German company had said it would decide by Monday on its involvement in the project.
On Saturday, teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg called for Siemens to review its role in the project.
