MEI Grattan logo bannerThe Future of Coal and Gas in Australia

Energy analysts and commentators envisage coal and gas playing major, if not dominant roles in supplying an energy hungry world for many decades. Australia is a major exporter of coal, and coal-based electricity dominates our domestic electricity supply. Gas development is undergoing a revolution driven by technologies that extract it from coal seams and shales and the scale is mind boggling. Yet an effective response to climate change means the combustion of coal and gas as we know it today must cease by mid-century. This seminar in our Energy Futures Series will examine this conundrum, one of the major challenges of our time.
