Gas is widely seen as the so-called ‘transition’ fuel for electricity on the road to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

For example, the federal government says in its Future Gas Strategy, ‘gas production and use must be optimised through the transition’, with the transition being to renewables.

The Liberals say that ‘we are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050’ and that ‘we will deliver a balanced energy mix with renewables, gas, storage and zero-emissions nuclear’.
