ETS a threat to NSW mining projects, says NSW Minerals Council

摘要

An Australian emissions trading scheme will have a “pronounced impact” in New South Wales, which is home to many emissions intensive trade exposed industries such as coal mining, the New South Wales Minerals Council has warned the Australian government. The Minerals Council said an Australian ETS, to be introduced in July 2010, could disadvantage New South Wales coal producers against international competitors who are not even considering an emissions reduction scheme.
