Abstract

Current trade patterns reflect the low cost of transporting carbon-intensive fossil fuels. But renewable energy is expensive to transport. In a world moving to net-zero emissions, Australia can capitalise on its abundant renewable energy resource to process and export green minerals and fuels. With the right policy settings, Australia could not only meet its own international commitments to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, but it could make a significant contribution to the global reduction in emissions, and prosper in the process.

澳大利亚能成为可再生能源超级大国吗？

目前的贸易模式反映了运输碳密集型化石燃料的低成本。但是可再生能源的运输成本很高。在世界走向净零排放的背景下，澳大利亚可以利用其丰富的可再生能源资源加工和出口绿色矿物和燃料。有了正确的政策设置，澳大利亚不仅可以实现自己的国际承诺，到2050年实现净零碳排放，而且可以为全球减排做出重大贡献，并在此过程中繁荣发展。
