Without accounting for land use, Australia’s emissions have only decreased 3% since 2005, not 27%. According to Australia’s Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, the latest emissions data show “we are on track to reach our 2030 targets” under the Paris Agreement. In 2024, Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions were “27% below 2005 levels”. That’s great news, right? Well, yes and no. Australia continues to rely on changes in land use to compensate for emissions released into the atmosphere.

Plans to revive an old coal-fired power station using bioenergy are being considered in the Hunter region of New South Wales. Similar plans for the station have previously not gone ahead.

But is it environmentally sound? The annoying answer is: it depends.
