Decarbonising gas in Australia by 2050 is achievable with the use of hydrogen, biogas and carbon capture and storage (CCS) applied to Australia’s extensive gas network infrastructure, a suite of reports today released by Energy Networks Australia has found.

Building on the landmark Gas Vision 2050, a new study by Deloitte Access Economics assesses how these technologies can be harnessed in Australia to meet our energy needs in a decarbonised future.

“Our nation’s gas networks are a colossal system, delivering just as much energy as the electricity network, and in some cases, such as Victoria, even more,” said Andrew Dillon, Energy Networks Australia CEO.
