5126 (2026). Steve Abel to the Minister for Energy

5126 (2026). Steve Abel to the Minister for Energy: What advice, briefings, correspondence or other communication, if any, has the Minister received outlining that LNG is a worse climate polluter than coal?

Hon Simon Watts: The advice received on climate implications of LNG has been disclosed, as part of the CIPA. It states that the modelling shows that electricity-related emissions are expected to be lower in the LNG import scenario than the status quo, in part due to less coal being used.
