The Climate Council has criticised the focus on increasing the gas supply as a solution to Australia's energy woes.
Some states could experience gas shortages during upcoming peak winter periods and ongoing shortfalls within only a few years.But the Climate Council criticised the focus on more gas supply as a solution to Australia's energy woes.
Its 2023 gas report anticipates gas production will meet customer demand in central and eastern Australia. Australia's energy ministers have already extended the market operator's powers to tackle immediate east coast supply shortfalls. "What we really need is investment in more gas supply - that could be from traditional natural gas fields, or importing into southern states or using renewable gases like biomethane or hydrogen when they become available," he told ABC Radio.
An energy expert from the group, Andrew Stock, said opening up new gas projects was not the answer and Australia instead should be accelerating investment in renewable sources and energy storage. An additional 2000 megawatts of new wind and grid-scale solar generation and battery storage has been added in the 12 months to February 2023.
