What do Australia's international climate obligations mean for coal?

Australia has shown that emissions reductions are possible alongside maintaining our critically important resources sector.

Australia’s carbon emissions have fallen by well over 20 per cent since 2005, going further than countries such as the US, Canada and New Zealand. At the same time our resources exports have grown from $79 billion in 2005 to around $310 billion today.

Coal Australia agrees with FutureCoal, that by investing in low emissions technologies, together with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the industry can contribute to meeting both our energy needs and emissions goals.
