Critical minerals and rare earths are the building blocks for emerging and future technologies, inseparable from the supply chains of manufacturing and clean energy production. This report makes a number of recommendations for government and the private sector to support the development of viable, competitive alternative markets that offer products through supply chains secure from...

​This paper provides some background information on PEP 11 and an overview of the current regulatory framework.

This strategy document sets out the Australian government’s vision to grow Australia’s critical minerals sector.

Australia’s primary policy to address industrial greenhouse gas emissions now requires stronger action to cut pollution from gas projects including full abatement of reservoir emissions. The Santos Barossa project is particularly emissions-intensive and is likely to incur carbon costs of between $500m and $987m between now and 2030.

Subsidies for fossil fuels obscure the true cost of these polluting industries and enable them to continue exploring for, extracting and burning coal, oil and gas. As the world works towards reducing global greenhouse emissions to mitigate climate change, international pressure is mounting for countries to stop subsidising fossil fuels so that competitively-priced and clean...
