The Australian Gas Industry’s Economic Contribution

Australia’s gas industry is essential to our energy security and economic prosperity.

Australians depend on locally produced natural gas every day to generate electricity, for household cooking and heating, and for the energy used in manufacturing to make everyday products like steel, glass and bricks.

The Economic Contribution of the Gas Industry report by KPMG provides a snapshot of the sector’s contribution to the Australian economy in 2021-22, based on the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data. The report’s findings underscore the importance of Australia’s gas industry to the nation’s economic prosperity.

The analysis also shows that new investment in gas projects would deliver substantial economic and employment benefits for Australia.
