Gas Energy Australia
Gas in Australia generates over $70 billion in economic activity, supporting more than 241,600 local jobs, to fuel 7 million homes and hundreds of thousands of businesses in meeting their daily needs.
Green gases will transform how we work, relax and play, ensuring families and businesses can continue to reliably and affordably use gas - renewable, zero-emitting gases - to 2050 and beyond.
