Queensland natural gas: A plan for economic and energy security

Queensland natural gas – A plan for economic and energy security

Natural gas is critical to Queensland’s economic prosperity, energy security and our net zero emissions future.

Queenslanders benefit significantly from the natural gas sector, including through $2.4 billion in revenue to local and state governments in 2023-24, while also supporting more than 67,000 jobs across the state.

A strong gas industry is key to delivering reliable and affordable energy through the net zero transformation, while supporting energy security and decarbonisation for our region.

Australian Energy Producers has developed a strategic plan that recognises the importance of natural gas to deliver reliable and affordable energy through the net zero transformation, while supporting energy security and decarbonisation for our region

By prioritising these policy actions, the government can attract investment in new gas supply and realise Queensland’s full potential for economic growth and job creation, while safeguarding the revenues that fund schools, hospitals and essential services.
