Labor came to power promising real change on climate. But their reliance on accounting tricks, carbon sinks, offsets and a future for gas has cast a very large cloud.
Why is Australia talking about opening new gas fields as a way to reach net zero?
The US Department of Energy will review its process for approving new LNG projects.
Banning public funding for overseas fossil fuel projects will boost Australia’s climate leadership. But can it take the next step and do it domestically?
LNG carriers were delayed in unloading in EU ports because there weren’t enough terminals to process the fuel.
In May, the Northern Territory government greenlit the mammoth Beetaloo Basin fracking project. But they did so based on a report with optimistic projections on offsets and emissions.
Those who think the worst of Europe’s energy crisis is over are getting ahead of themselves.
To address the climate crisis, governments need to limit new fossil fuel developments. But foreign investors are often protected under trade and investment agreements.
Changes to the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT) are long overdue, but Labor’s modest attempt at reform represents a missed opportunity.
Capping the wholesale gas price is a poor attempt to decouple the domestic market from the volatile international market. The only sure way forward is a domestic reservation policy for the east coast.
Shipping companies have billions invested in fleets that were built to last decades. Now, the US is calling for zero emissions by 2050, and the EU is raising the cost of fossil fuel use.
The Greens wanted Australia to rule out new coal and gas projects. Instead, we have a hard cap on emissions – and that should make many fossil fuel projects unviable
For the first time, Australia has moved to cap natural gas prices in a bid to stop energy price pain. Is the cap too high – or was it necessary to mollify the producers?
Energy bills are about to hurt. But what can the government actually do to ease the pain?
Thanks one of the treasurer’s most trusted confidants, we can now piece together what the government’s likely to do next about rising energy bills. Here’s what I expect to see over the next month.
Two-thirds of those surveyed back capped gas prices, an extra tax on gas exporters that would subsidise prices, or rules requiring Australian gas to be reserved for Australian use.
Offsetting carbon emissions sounds great. In practice, it’s often used to maintain the high-emissions status quo.
Pipeline rupture may cause EU gas demand to peak sooner than expected.
Hopes that prices will ease are probably wishful thinking.
