Australia's energy security is a growing concern, and with coal power stations aging the risk of blackouts is increasing.
Gas offers a reliable solution to bridge the gap between renewable energy sources and ensure a stable energy supply.

Zero carbon electrons, produced primarily through wind and solar power, are increasingly helping consumers decarbonise their electricity use across Australia’s electricity markets.

It is easy to forget that many energy users, such as manufacturing, mining and long-haul transport (i.e. aviation, trucking, and shipping) simply cannot rely on zero carbon electrons to meet their long-term emission reduction targets.

This is why zero carbon molecules such as hydrogen are not just desirable, but essential in helping the world decarbonise its energy system. APA, through its Pathfinder program, works with customers to investigate opportunities to decarbonise their operations and hydrogen remains a particular focus in the development of these customer-led solutions.

If Australia is to meet its emissions reduction targets, the retirement of coal power stations is one of the biggest steps we can undertake.

Unless we have reliable, long duration sources of energy to replace coal, base-load generation, governments will keep coal open for longer than necessary, which will also delay the further deployment of renewables.

In an energy system that will be increasingly dominated by renewables, giving state governments the peace of mind to allow the closure of aging coal power stations is going to be easier said than done.

Without new gas supply, Australia’s energy security and renewable energy targets are at risk.

Australia’s energy priorities are clear and make sense. We need to accelerate the removal of coal, accelerate the introduction of renewables, and support these renewables with electricity transmission, energy storage and gas.

The often-difficult conversation to have, is about the critical role of gas.

With coal power in Australia nearing its end, transitioning to greener forms of energy and meeting our net zero ambitions will require us to use every tool in our energy toolbox.

With a diverse $26 billion portfolio of energy infrastructure assets spread right across the country, APA is uniquely positioned to understand the challenges in decarbonising Australia’s energy system.

The retirement of coal power stations first is the biggest single emissions reduction initiative Australia can undertake.
