A Future Made in Australia: Unlocking Australia’s Green Iron, Steel, Alumina and Aluminium Opportunity
Australia’s unique combination of mineral resources and access to abundant and low-cost renewable energy offers considerable opportunity for the development of a domestic low emissions metals industry.
Future Gas Strategy
ACCI has long advocated the need to develop a comprehensive national gas strategy, to provide stability to the gas market and boost investor confidence. A holistic strategy is needed to increase competition, create a more interconnected network, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the gas market. To be consistent with the National Gas Objective, the strategy must be consumer-focused, centred on providing secure, affordable, and reliable supply to gas-reliant residential, commercial and industrial customers. At the same time, it needs to support the LNG export sector, a major contributor to Australia’s trade balance and GDP, and limit any disruptions to this trade.
