“Gas’s role in supporting economic growth and net zero

While the much of the excitement around energy and power is currently on critical minerals and rare earths, we should not forget that we will very much need the support of our broader traditional resources industry to pave the road to net zero.
We can’t build wind turbines and solar panels without iron ore.  Manufacturers in Asia can’t make steel at scale without coking coal from Queensland and New South Wales.
And we can’t process those critical minerals without gas.

We will also need gas to support our energy network for a long time to come as coal generation drops out.”

“I understand that the gas industry is concerned about the pace of approvals and the uncertainty around consultation processes that recent judicial developments have raised.
Work is underway in Government to address these issues.
I understand that investors and communities need certainty.”



Can we all take a deep breath. This project will be approved. Just requires some time… and patience….
