More Energy, Less Emissions

Energy production and use is the single largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, and a major environmental challenge. With large petroleum, natural gas and coal reserves, Australia is applying smart research to the goals of low-emission energy generation and use.

In the renewable energy sector, solar technologies are a particular strength. And as the world’s largest coal exporter, Australia is playing a major role in developing technologies to reduce the environmental impact of coal production and use, reducing greenhouse emissions and other pollutants to deliver more sustainable coal use.
