A comprehensive plan to reduce gas use across NSW will improve energy security, lower bills for households and businesses, secure jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will also help to protect the Pilliga and farming communities fighting against the land, water and climate impacts from onshore gas expansion.
Research by Springmount Advisory, commissioned by the Lock the Gate Alliance, has found that:
- 74% of gas demand in NSW could be replaced today with commercially available technology, such as electrification and heat pumps, and
- that a 52% gas reduction target by 2035 is achievable
An achievable, economy wide gas reduction target to enhance energy security and ease cost of living in NSW is within reach. Read our full report to find out how:
