Australia’s Energy Policy

Australia’s Government energy policy hasestablished three primary objectives :-

• The provision of a efficient and reliable energy service

• Responsible development of natural resources and technology

• Reduce effects of global environmental impacts

Australia’s Energy Policy

• Minimum Renewable Energy Target of 20% in 2020

• Emissions Trading in 2010

Energy Efficiency in Australia

• Australia’s energy intensity decreases 1.1% annually

• Its performance lags other developed nations.

Energy Efficiency in Australia

• Its energy intensity improvement for manufacturing sector is the lowest

Energy Efficiency in AustraliaFor Residential and Commercial sectors :-

• Improve market signals and arrangement for demand side management (DSM)

• Have minimum standards for used appliances (MEPS)

• Providing information on energy performance of buildings

• Disclosing energy performance information in leases and sales agreements

• Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme (ABGRS)

Energy Efficiency in Australia

For Transport sector :-• National Average Fuel Consumption agreement for

car industry

• Reform of the fuel excise system• Travel Demand Management (TDM) programme

Energy Efficiency in Australia

For Industrial sector :-

• Mandatory Energy Efficiency Opportunity Assessment ( for large energy users (>0.5 petajoules per annum)

• Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) expanded to include some industrial equipment

• Businesses with EPA licenses to report their energy usage patterns and strategies in usage reduction and management

Energy Efficiency in Australia

• Promote actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions• Greater end-user participation through energy

reduction activities• Energy Efficiency Best Practice (EEBP) programme

Conclusion and Recommendations

• Climate Change will be a big issue as global CO2 emissions will increase 43% by 2035

• Oil prices will increase in the future.

• Australia too dependent on oil, coal and gas which contributes the most CO2 although it has good energy security

• Domestic oil production will decrease more

Conclusion and Recommendations• Stop building and de-commission existing coal-

fired power plants• Reduce 50% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2040• Promotion of energy efficiency and renewable

energy (extend/improve MRET)• Transit from high carbon economy to a

clean sustainable future– Clean Technology will also create new jobs– Sustainable development (less dependence on fossil fuels
