Key points

  • The time is now for Australia to speed up decarbonisation. Our new report sets out pathways for energy, transport, building, and heavy industry.
  • Electricity sector has the greatest opportunity to accelerate decarbonisation in the 2020s, which could see emissions decline by 83 per cent by 2030.
  • Our latest report is available for business and industry to drive action on rapid emissions reduction.

Our new report outlines ambitious but achievable pathways to low emissions for key sectors. Our researchers have developed decarbonisation scenarios for energy, transport, building, and heavy industry.

Each scenario was specifically tailored to an Australian context, informed by the global paths towards net zero developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The results are now available for use by businesses and industry to drive greater ambition and action on rapid emissions reduction.
