The Australian Government sought input to inform the development of its Future Gas Strategy, which provides a medium to long-term plan for gas production and consumption in Australia. The Future Gas Strategy aims to:
- Support decarbonisation, including reaching our target of 43% reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero by 2050
- Promote Australia's energy security and affordability
- Maintain Australia’s trade relationships, ensuring we remain a reliable and trusted supplier of LNG to our region to our region and build our clean energy exports
- Help our trade partners on their own paths to net zero.
The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation prepared a response to the Future Gas Strategy Consultation Paper on behalf of the WA Government with input from other agencies.
