Australia will need to retool commodity exports to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 April 20, 2021, by Jasmina Ovcina As Australia gears up efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 it is clear that the nation would have to commercialize low emission technologies and change its energy mix in the next 30 years. Speaking on Monday ahead of a climate summit occurring this week, Australian PM Scott Morrison said that the Aussie government was charting its own course to ensure “Australia is well placed to prosper through the great energy transition of our time, consistent with the strong action on climate change. “ Australia aims to reduce its emissions by 70 percent per unit of GDP on 2005 levels, and halve it when considered in per capita emissions, by 2030. According to Morrison, Australia has lowered its emissions by 19 percent at the end of 2020 when compared to the 2005 levels.
