SwitchedOn Podcast: Pathway to electrification being blocked by fossil gas

Published by

Australia is still investing heavily in new fossil gas projects, the Australian government’s Future Gas Strategy emphasises the continued use of gas beyond 2050, and we still don’t have a gas reduction strategy.

The CEO of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), Amandine Denis-Ryan, explains how fossil gas continues to shape our thinking in Australia, why new gas supplies are not needed in the long term, and why we urgently need a nationwide plan for electrification.
