Leading the Way to Net Zero
At the heart of our climate strategy is the Future Made in Australia plan, which leverages renewable energy, critical technologies, and Australian ingenuity to cut emissions and grow our economy:
Attracting Investment: We’re streamlining approvals for clean energy projects, supported by $168.1 million to fast-track significant developments.
Becoming a Renewable Energy Superpower: A $3.2 billion investment in green metals, batteries, and hydrogen will ensure Australia leads the world in clean energy innovation.
Backing Australian Ideas: The $1.7 billion Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund is boosting local industries and cementing Australia’s role as a global leader in clean technology.
Legislating Climate Action
For the first time, Australia has locked in emissions reduction targets of 43% by 2030 and net zero by 2050 in legislation.
These targets provide certainty for investors, accountability for governments, and a clear path forward for Australia’s clean energy future:
Certainty for Investors: Businesses can invest in renewable energy with confidence.
Accountability: Annual updates to Parliament will keep the public informed and hold the government to account.
Collaboration: Uniting unions, farmers, businesses, and conservation groups to drive meaningful climate action.
Driving a Clean Energy Economy
Australia is seizing the global opportunity of decarbonisation, ensuring we lead in clean energy innovation, technology, and exports:
Hydrogen Leadership: With a $1.3 billion investment in the Hydrogen Headstart program, Australia is set to become a global hydrogen powerhouse by 2030.
Critical Minerals for Clean Energy: A $7 billion investment will strengthen Australia’s role in producing the minerals vital for batteries, solar panels, and clean technologies.
Building the Workforce of the Future: $91 million will upskill Australians in clean energy careers, with $55.6 million dedicated to supporting women in these industries.
Securing Australia’s Future
Through innovation, infrastructure, and skills, we’re creating a resilient economy ready for the clean energy transition:
Economic Security: Our National Interest Framework prioritises investment in critical industries essential to achieving net zero.
Global Competitiveness: By leading the clean energy race, Australia will secure its place as a leader in the global economy.
Real action on climate change means more than cutting emissions—it’s about building stronger communities, creating opportunities, and ensuring a better future for all Australians.
Together, We’re Building a Future Made in Australia.
With the Albanese Government’s leadership, we’re delivering a climate action plan that creates jobs, strengthens the economy, and secures Australia’s future in a changing world.
Let’s continue to take real action on climate change, together.
