Future Gas Strategy Analytical Report

The Future Gas Strategy maps the Australian Government’s plan for how gas will support our economy’s transition to net zero in partnership with the world. This analytical report provides an evidence base to support development of the strategy. \r\n\r\nGas underpins a wide range of economic activity in Australia and globally, with secure gas supplies being a core component of energy security for many economies. However, the production and use of gas also accounts for 24% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2021–22. \r\n\r\nAustralia has legislated targets to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Australia’s domestic climate action is progressing against a backdrop of growing global momentum to deliver the goals of the Paris Agreement. Emissions from gas must therefore reduce significantly. \r\n

《未来天然气战略》（The Future Gas Strategy）梳理并勾勒了澳大利亚政府的规划蓝图，阐明天然气将如何携手全球伙伴，助力本国经济向净零排放转型。本分析报告为该战略的制定提供了坚实的实证基础。

天然气支撑着澳大利亚乃至全球范围内的广泛经济活动，稳定的天然气供应亦是众多经济体能源安全的核心组成部分。然而，2021至2022年，天然气的生产与使用占澳大利亚温室气体排放总量的24%。

澳大利亚已立法设定2050年实现净零排放的目标。在全球落实《巴黎协定》（Paris Agreement）目标的势头日益增强的背景下，澳大利亚国内的气候行动正稳步推进。因此，天然气相关排放必须实现大幅削减。
