Emissions reduction process needs to change

摘要

APGA has engaged in twelve energy and emissions reduction policy consultation processes in 2023 so far. Given that, APGA lodged a total of 30 submissions across the entire previous year and 29 submissions in 2021, the pace of change is stark. The wide range of reform processes underfoot has included matters directly relevant to the future of the gas industry. This includes proposed introduction of regulated rates of return for gas as a commodity, and a separate consideration of embedding emissions reduction targets within the National Gas Objective.
