It’s used in homes and businesses for cooking, heating and cooling, and to power appliances like BBQs.

It generates cleaner, reliable energy to power our homes, hospitals, mines, and businesses. As gas-fired generators can start up quickly, natural gas partners with renewable technologies to provide reliable energy when the wind doesn’t blow, or the sun doesn’t shine.

Natural gas is one of Australia’s most important export commodities and will be crucial to meeting global net zero emissions targets, especially as nations in the Asia-Pacific region reduce emissions by switching from coal to gas-fired electricity.
