FUTURE GAS STRATEGY SUBMISSIONS OUTLINE PIVOTAL ROLE OF GAS
Woodside Energy Group Ltd (Woodside) welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the Australian Government’s development of a Future Gas Strategy (the Strategy).
With more than 200 submissions made to the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR)’s consultation process, there is a growing recognition in the community of the pivotal role of gas at a time when access to secure, affordable and reliable energy supply is becoming increasingly challenged in a volatile and uncertain world.
As many submissions identified, gas will play a key role in a responsible energy transition. This was acknowledged by local and state governments, manufacturers, regional customers, power generators, think tanks and policy experts, business and industry groups, and unions.
Woodside supports all four objectives of the Strategy and sees them as interrelated goals: providing affordable and reliable energy for Australians; maintaining strategic partnerships and energy security in our region; and simultaneously progressing decarbonisation of our trading partners and decarbonisation in Australia.
