National Action Plan
Our plan for decarbonising industry to create a prosperous, zero-emissions Australia.
Our plan for decarbonising industry to create a prosperous, zero-emissions Australia.
Australia has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish itself as a renewable energy superpower - meeting global demand for clean energy and green products and helping our trading partners to decarbonise. To reduce our emissions and lock in long-term economic prosperity, we urgently need a nationally coordinated approach across industry, business, government, investors and communities.
Our stakeholders are business leaders, government decision-makers at all levels, planners, investors, climate advocates, and industry.
BZE will use our research, networks and access to decision-makers to develop a National Action Plan to decarbonise Australia while building our Renewable Energy Superpower capability.
The National Action Plan will focus on decarbonising key industrial centres, and accelerating the production of clean commodities such as green iron to meet rising demand. The growth of Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts in these key industrial regions — historically dependent on coal mining and heavy industry — is central to the National Action Plan.
This Plan will grow and evolve over time, building up detail of the physical infrastructure and market changes needed to reduce domestic emissions and grow clean Aussie exports. It will also show how to meet unique social and environmental challenges in each of the chosen development areas.
We have developed a set of Critical Success Criteria to measure the progress on the fundamentals needed for a successful transition in regions identified as prime locations for Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts and are key to decarbonising industry on a large scale.
We have consulted key national and regional stakeholders for their feedback to help us improve these Criteria and are now testing the Criteria by applying them to regions that we know well, such as the Hunter Valley in New South Wales and Gladstone in Queensland.
