The Australian Government has developed a Net Zero Plan on how Australia will transition to a net zero economy by 2050.
The Industry Sector plan is one of 6 sectoral emissions reduction plans that support the Net Zero Plan.
The plan covers how the Australian industrial and waste sectors will transition to a net zero economy. It addresses 9 industrial subsectors that represent the greatest opportunity and need for decarbonisation, and those most impacted by the economy’s transition. These are:
- alumina and aluminium manufacturing
- food and beverages manufacturing
- metals refining and smelting
- cement and concrete production
- iron and steel manufacturing
- pulp, paper and paperboard manufacturing
- chemicals and plastics manufacturing
- manufacturing and additional industries
- waste and resource recovery.
We developed the plan with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW).
