"Australia is on track to reach the Albanese government’s 43% emissions
reduction target by 2030, according to the most recent analysis by the Climate
Change department.
The analysis shows Australian emissions are projected to be 42.6% below 2005
levels in 2030.
The government has released the new numbers ahead of Climate Change and Energy
Minister Chris Bowen’s Thursday annual climate change statement to parliament.
They show total net emissions are projected to be 3% below Australia’s 10-year
planned carbon reduction budget. This means Australia would over-achieve the
2030 target on the budget basis. That compares to 1% above the budget projected
last year, when measured using the baseline scenario.
If additional measures the government is committed to are taken into account,
such as the
Future Made in Australia policy to support the development of
hydrogen and the critical minerals industry, Australia would achieve a
projected 42.7% emissions reduction on 2005 levels. This compares to a
projection of 42% in the 2023 emissions projections and 40% in the 2022
emissions projections.
Australia is on track to beat its emissions budget by 152 million tonnes over
the 10 years to 2030. That would be equivalent to Australia’s entire
electricity sector’s emissions in 2024."
