Decommissioning offshore oil and gas infrastructure
Planning for gas to 2050 and beyond
The role of gas will change as we reach net zero in Australia by 2050. The Future Gas Strategy sets out the Australian Government’s plan for gas production and consumption while our economy transitions to net zero.
The strategy aims to:
- support decarbonisation of the Australian economy
- safeguard energy security and affordability
- reinforce Australia’s reputation as an attractive trade and investment destination
- help our trade partners on their own paths to net zero.
The strategy is an evidence-based framework built around 6 principles that will guide policymaking about gas.
