Energy & Climate

To meet growing future energy needs, coal and gas will have a very important role within the energy mix, alongside renewable technology. QRC works alongside its member companies to strike a balance between:
● sustaining economic growth
● the need for affordable energy
● the global challenge of carbon reduction practices.

QRC supports the Paris Agreement its emissions reductions goals and the action required to achieve the commitments under the agreement.

QRC supports its members efforts to decarbonise their operations, lower emissions and reduce energy costs by improving energy efficiency, adopting renewable energy, investing in co-generation, and implementing demand management.

QRC’s advocacy is governed by the QRC Political Engagement Policy, which recognises a core activity of the QRC is to advocate for and influence policy outcomes that are in the best interest of the Queensland resources industry.
