This paper assesses the two technologies leading the decarbonisation of Australia's bus fleet, finding that battery-electric buses are significantly more cost-effective and offer greater emissions reductions than hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses, particularly when powered by renewable energy.

This discussion paper responds to the Australian Government's Future Gas Strategy, arguing that the information presented in the analytic report fails to justify gas expansion and would in fact be more consistent with calls for a comprehensive energy transition strategy for the southern regions.
