ATSE welcomes the Government’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 and believes that this transition must be technology-led. Based on the unequivocal scientific evidence for climate change, ATSE also recommends setting a more ambitious interim emissions target by 2030 and prioritising the immediate deployment of existing low-carbon technologies to reduce emissions by that date1. The LETS is an opportunity to lead Australia to a decarbonised economy using a combination of comparative advantages, private sector innovation and ongoing Government funding and policy and program support.
