The federal government will undertake a review of the east coast gas market, amid new fears that a shortage could potentially occur by the end of 2025. Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has indicated that the government will require new gas projects to supply some of their output to the domestic market, although the policy will not affect the LNG export contracts of existing projects. The government will also consider the option of an east coast reservation scheme, which the Opposition had proposed during its ill-fated election campaign. Bowen has conceded that gas will be crucial to the energy transition, although he remains upbeat about the nation’s troubled green hydrogen industry.
