Oil and gas body offers

摘要

The peak body representing Australia's oil and gas industry recommended a number of amendments to the Federal Government's Clean Energy Legislative package in August. The submission from Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) suggests improvements to the proposed carbon pricing plan's ability to meet Australia's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets at least cost and provide investment certainty. "The introduction of a carbon price mechanism should allow decisions about investments in low-emission technology and the mix of Australia's energy sources to be made in an efficient way, avoiding an approach that picks winners or results in a 'fashion parade' of different energy sources," APPEA chief executive, Belinda Robinson said.
